Legged robots get more versatile. Robot locomotion has been researched for decades, leading to increased energy efficiency ...
Roboticists at the Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) have developed a new class of bio-inspired feet that ...
The robot feet, inspired by moose hooves, improve movement on mud and snow by reducing sinkage, suction force, and energy ...
Following their moose tests, researchers then designed silicone slippers for a quadrupedal robot. According to results from their lab analysis, the ungulate-inspired booties reduced sinkage depth ...

Boffins have given dog robots moose hoof shaped footwear and let them loose in Estonian woodland to find out if it would help ...
Tests in the lab showed that real moose hooves act like suction cups, reducing the force needed to pull their feet out of sticky mud. The key lies in the way the split hooves break the suction when ...
