Developed and tested in narrow environments, it walks, crawls, climbs over obstacles, and spin with remarkable dexterity. It has proven to recover from falls and has a robust design. Robots like SQuRo could become invaluable in real-world applications where maneuvering complex terrain is crucial, such as disaster response or inspecting pipelines. This research demonstrates the potential of biomimicry to inspire innovative solutions in robotics. (Apr 2022)
