Multi-legged robots: Classification, technology, technical architecture and applications

Abstract

Multi-legged robots have become a research hotspot in the field of robotics, and they have a wide range of applications in military, rescue, and detection fields. The current state of research in the field of multi-legged robots is reviewed in this paper, and the types of quadrupedal robots, hexapod robots, and biped robots are introduced in terms of multi-legged robot types. In terms of the technology of multi-legged robots, technology of multi-legged robots and the technical architecture are introduced. Some practical applications in the field of multi-legged robots are also presented. The comprehensive analysis shows that multi-legged robots have strong adaptability and flexibility, but there are still some challenges in control and stability. In the future, a focus will be placed on the enhancement of environment perception and intelligent control of multi-legged robots, which will result in an increase in their reliability and performance when they are applied in practical scenarios.
