Tripedal Robot

Tripedal robots, robots with three legs, are a growing area of robotics research focused on achieving stable and versatile locomotion in challenging environments. Current research explores diverse designs, including soft robots that self-deploy and adapt to uneven terrain, and robots incorporating rolling and frictional contacts for enhanced maneuverability and stability. These advancements are driven by the need for robots capable of navigating complex and unpredictable environments, with applications ranging from search and rescue to exploration in unstructured settings. The development of robust control algorithms and adaptable mechanical designs are key focuses in this field.
