Legged #robots designed to explore planets as a team
Trio of #ANYmal robots customized by researchers at ETH Zurich were tested in environments close to harsh #lunar & #Mars terrain. Each specialized for particular functions but still flexible enough to cover for each other—if one glitches, others can take over tasks. Legged robots could join rovers & airborne #spacecraft, stepping into treacherous regions rovers cannot access and making exploration more efficient. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/new-legged-robots-designed-to-explore-planets-as-a-team/
