Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed the first soft robot that is capable of walking on rough surfaces, such as sand and pebbles. The 3D-printed, four-legged robot ...

Theories that predict how legged animals and robots move across a granular environment — surfaces made up of lots of small particles like sand and gravel — have proven more difficult than ...

Scientists have developed the first 3D-printed four-legged robot that can climb over obstacles and walk on different rough surfaces such as sand and pebbles. Researchers led by Michael Tolley ...

Using a complex move the researchers dubbed "rear rotator pedaling," the robot can climb a slope by using its unique ... Goldman's group that involved moving with legs or flippers, which had ...

A six-legged skiing robot can be seen expertly slaloming down a snowy white slope in unbelievable footage of tests undertaken in Shenyang, China this month. The robot — which stands with two ...

Among the study's recommendations: robots attempting to move across sandy terrain should move their legs more slowly, especially if the sand is loosely packed. Today's advanced mobile robots ...

Legged robots ... modeling based on the robot’s physical pressure interacting with the ground reactions of various mediums to simulate deforming terrain, such as sand. All of this information ...

Potential terrains include grass (naturally), sand, gravel ... beyond the admittedly narrow world of robot soccer. The debate around the efficacy of legged robots rages on, but one thing is ...

Two years ago we first heard about the Swiss-Mile Robot ... bending its legs up and down. In this way, it's able to keep its body either horizontally level or parallel to the slope of the staircase.
