Abstract: Considering the requirements of integrated exploration tasks of landing and patrolling on the planet surface in the field of deep space exploration, this paper comprehensively reviews the history of these integrated tasks both in China and abroad, summarizing the methods of deceleration and buffering and the moving detection situations during the landing process, and further pointing out the limitations of traditional landing and moving systems such as complex configuration, low reliability, high proportions of the quality and volume of the landing buffer devices. The advantages of the integrated robots for landing inspections are then compared and analyzed. In addition, the research progress of legged mobile robots, wind driven spherical robots, small jumping robots and tensegrity robots with integrated landing and moving functions are reviewed respectively. The performance characteristics of all these robots are compared, their application scope given. Finally, the future development of integrated landing and moving robots for planet surface, the problems to be further studied and possible solutions are discussed.

Key words: planetary surface, integrated landing and moving, mobile robots, high-altitude falling, buffer damping
