Abstract

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been looking to biology to provide insights into how organisms efficiently navigate in their environment. Specifically, we have sought to understand how organisms, from mammals to insects, can perform rapid locomotion over rough, uneven terrain. These biomimetic principles have been applied to various robotic platforms and the development continues as engineers and roboticists strive to emulate the behavior of natural systems. The following attempts to briefly capture the technology progression to current funded efforts, with a vision towards future robotic interests.
