Robots can now walk through muddy and slippery terrain, thanks to moose-like feet

Roboticists at the Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) have developed a new class of bio-inspired feet that significantly enhance robot mobility on challenging terrains like mud and wet snow. The findings, published in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, could expand the capabilities of robots, allowing them to navigate in complex natural terrains to conduct sensitive environmental monitoring, aid in agriculture and participate in disaster response.
