Traversing rough terrains is one of the domains where multi-legged walking robots benefit
from their relatively more complex kinematics in comparison to wheeled robots. The …

Featured Application This work aims to review the use of ROS2 as middleware to integrate
heterogeneous hardware and software components in order to enable fixed-base robots to …

Legged robots are an efficient alternative for navigation in challenging terrain. In this paper
we describe Weaver, a six‐legged robot that is designed to perform autonomous navigation …

Legged robots have the ability to adapt their walking posture to navigate confined spaces
due to their high degrees of freedom. However, this has not been exploited in most common …

Hexapod walking robots have been widely addressed in the literature with a very large
number of design and engineering solutions. However, specific design approaches and …

An important feature of a legged robot is its dynamic motion performance. Traditional
methods often improve the dynamic motion performance by reducing the moment of inertia …

The electrically driven six-legged robot with high carrying capacity is an indispensable
equipment for planetary exploration, but it hinders its practicability because of its low …

In general, grid map based path planning algorithms are employed in the robotics arena.
The algorithm uses a grid map to represent environmental information, standardized …

Multi-legged robots, such as hexapods, have great potential to navigate challenging terrain.
However, their design and control are usually much more complex and energy-demanding …

Navigating natural environments with deformable terrain is a difficult challenge in robotics.
Understanding the interaction dynamics between robots and such terrain is an important first …
