Quadrupedal Robots
Quadrupedal robots are robotic systems designed to move on four legs, mimicking the locomotion of animals like dogs and horses. They are engineered to navigate various terrains, providing stability and adaptability in environments where wheeled robots may struggle. These robots often utilize advanced sensors and algorithms to maintain balance and coordinate their movements.
Many quadrupedal robots are used in research, exploration, and even military applications. Notable examples include Boston Dynamics' Spot and ANYmal, which showcase capabilities such as climbing stairs, traversing rough ground, and performing tasks autonomously. Their design allows for versatility in both indoor and outdoor settings.
