robotsspiders
Robotsspiders refers to a family of robotic systems designed to mimic the morphology and locomotion of spiders. These platforms use multiple articulated legs and light, compliant structures to negotiate irregular terrain, climb obstacles, and access confined spaces where wheels or tracks are limited. The term encompasses both fully autonomous eight‑legged robots and modular leg units that can be mounted on various chassis.
Design features commonly include eight articulating legs with multiple joints, often driven by electric, hydraulic, or
Locomotion relies on coordinated leg gaits, which can be centralized or decentralized. Algorithms may use central
Autonomy ranges from teleoperation to fully autonomous operation with onboard perception, planning, and control. Some designs
Applications include search and rescue, disaster response, industrial inspection, and exploration in cluttered environments. In research,
Challenges include mechanical complexity, energy efficiency, and control stability in dynamic conditions. Durability under debris, maintenance
