Robotic movement is largely inspired by biological creatures. Movement in robots can be brought about by any part of the body.It is not restricted to just leg and wheel movement.
Climbing robots are flexible devices which are capable of performing functions such as climbing vertical surfaces in an 'upside down' direction.
A mobile robot is designed with locomotion mechanisms that facilitate movement through its environment. The design of legged locomotion mechanisms are usually inspired by biological systems which move through harsh terrains.
The Department of Defence have called for Boston Dynamics Inc., engineering and robotics design company, and the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to design and construct autonomous humanoid robots to “perform evacuation operations”.
ZenRobotics, a high-tech company specializing in robotic recycling technology, have developed the ZenRobotics Recycler, a robotic waste sorting system that is capable of sorting raw solid waste from construction and demolition waste.
