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 …

Swarm robotics deals with the design, construction, and deployment of large groups of
robots that coordinate and cooperatively solve a problem or perform a task. It takes …

The deployment of a fleet of autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) allows for the
parallelisation of missions, intervehicle support for longer deployment times, adaptability …

The increasing deployment of multiple unmanned vehicles systems has generated large
research interest in recent decades. This paper therefore provides a detailed survey to …

The design, simulation and programming of robotics systems is challenging as expertise
from multiple domains needs to be integrated conceptually and technically. Domain-specific …

Self-reconfigurable robots have been proposed for a quite long period and in large
numbers. However, there are very few systematic methodologies proposed to categorize …

Adaptive multi-legged walking robots are predestined to be applied in rough and hazardous
terrain. Their walking and climbing skills allow them to operate at places that are …

Abstract Employing Modular Robotic Systems (MRS) in different application domains
confronts a large number of challenging problems in design, optimization, and planning, and …

This study presents the electromechanical design, the control approach, and the results of a
field test campaign with the hybrid wheeled‐leg rover SherpaTT. The rover ranges in the …

Actively articulated wheel-on-leg rovers offer high degrees of mobility for traversing
unstructured and scientifically interesting terrain. An ability to actively conform to the terrain …
