Crawling Faster, Clambering Higher

Legged robots capable of traversing difficult terrain and uncertain environments could be revolutionary in applications from defense to mining to disaster search and rescue. Research into the development of motion controls for bipedal and quadrupedal robots has made great strides recently. Tests in highly controlled environments for bipedal robots and varied terrain in quadrupeds show promise, but the costs and complexity required to equip these robots with the sensors needed to navigate create a huge barrier to deployment at scale. In contrast, low-profile multilegged robots with redundant contacts eliminate the need for costly visual and LIDAR systems and are poised to be deployed commercially in the agricultural sector.encountered.
