A new design that equips robots with proprioception and a tail

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)'s Robomechanics Lab recently introduced two new approaches that could help to improve the ability of legged robots to move on rocky or extreme terrains. These two approaches, outlined in a paper pre-published on arXiv, are inspired by the innate proprioception abilities and tail mechanics of animals.
