This review article aims to address common research questions in hexapod robotics. How
can we build intelligent autonomous hexapod robots that can exploit their biomechanics …

Nowadays, there is a growing awareness on the social and economic importance of the
ocean. In this context, being able to carry out a diverse range of operations underwater is of …

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 …

Legged robots are exceedingly versatile and have the potential to navigate complex,
confined spaces due to their many degrees of freedom. As a result of the computational …

Walking animals can continuously adapt their locomotion to deal with unpredictable
changing environments. They can also take proactive steps to avoid colliding with an …

Miniature robots provide unprecedented access to confined environments and show
potential for applications such as search‐and‐rescue and high‐value asset inspection. The …

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 …

The static stability of hexapods motivates their design for tasks in which stable locomotion is
required, such as navigation across complex environments. This task is of high interest due …

Legged robots can pass through complex field environments by selecting gaits and discrete
footholds carefully. Conventional methods plan gaits and footholds separately and treat …

Multi-legged walking robots are suitable platforms for unstructured and rough terrains
because of their immense locomotion capabilities. These are, however, redeemed by more …
