Traditional robotic foot and ankle have received considerable attention for adaptive
locomotion on complex terrain and land buffering ability. This study aims to develop a …

With their unique point‐contact ability with the ground and exceptional adaptability to
complex terrains, quadruped robots have become a focal point in the fields of automation …

In this paper, we first discuss the challenges related to habitat monitoring and review
possible robotic solutions. Then, we propose a framework to perform terrestrial habitat …

In recent years, exploration tasks in disaster environments, victim localization and primary
assistance have been the main focuses of Search and Rescue (SAR) Robotics. Developing …

Scientific exploration of planetary bodies is an activity well-suited for robots. Unfortunately,
the regions that are richer in potential discoveries, such as impact craters, caves, and …

Legged robots have been widely used in unstructured field environments, where unforeseen
nongeometric hazards, such as sinkage or slippage might compromise their mobility. Such …

In this article, a novel approach to enhance the maneuverability and adaptability of legged
robots in challenging environments is proposed. This approach involves the integration of …

Robotic exploration in natural environments requires adaptable, resilient, and stable
interactions with uncertain terrains. Most state-of-the-art legged robots utilize flat or ball feet …

In this letter, we aim to improve the robustness of dynamic quadrupedal locomotion through
two aspects: 1) fast model predictive foothold planning, and 2) applying LQR to projected …

This paper introduces the Terrain Recognition And Contact Force Estimation Paw, a
compact and sensorized shoe designed for legged robots. The paw end-effector is made of …
