Quadruped robots are robotic systems designed to move on four legs, mimicking the locomotion of animals like dogs and horses. They are engineered for stability and agility, allowing them to traverse various terrains, including rough or uneven surfaces. These robots often use advanced sensors and algorithms to navigate their environment and maintain balance. Many quadruped robots are used in research, exploration, and even in military applications. Notable examples include Boston Dynamics' Spot and ANYmal, which showcase capabilities such as obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation. Their design allows for versatile applications in fields like search and rescue, agriculture, and surveillance.
