Extra legs equals extra stability on tough terrain
Georgia Institute of Expertise
The extra legs a robotic has the higher it appears to be at travelling over tough terrain.
Baxi Chong on the Georgia Institute of Expertise and his colleagues constructed a variety of multi-legged robots from 3D-printed physique segments. Every phase had two legs and a number of other motors. The robots had between six and 16 legs in whole.
Not one of the robots had any sensors or cameras so that they couldn’t see their surroundings and simply moved in pre-programmed method that mimicked arthropods. The researchers examined …
