In this talk we will give an overview of our results as a Locomotion and Mobility workgroup. We will discuss important aspects of robot design and control regarding the mobility of our systems. Multiple examples and iterations of robot foot and leg designs will be presented. We will also describe how we plan to use new types of sensors to detect foot touchdown and ground reaction forces. The software and simulation group will show you how evolutionary algorithms help us to improve our robot morphologies and motion patterns.
