Journal Article
Chong, B., Aydin, Y. O., Rieser, J. M., Sartoretti, G., Wang, T., Whitman, J., …Goldman, D. I. (2022). A general locomotion control framework for multi-legged locomotors. Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3190/ac6e1b

Serially connected robots are promising candidates for performing tasks in confined spaces such as search and rescue in large-scale disasters. Such robots are typically limbless, and we hypothesize that the addition of limbs could improve mobility. H... Read More about A general locomotion control framework for multi-legged locomotors.
