Overview
LAURON V is a bio-inspired six-legged walking robot designed to operate in areas that would be difficult for wheeled systems. It carries scientific payloads to monitor the environment and can use its legs for mobile manipulation tasks. The robot is able to perform fully autonomous exploration missions using 3D environment mapping, path planning, visual servoing, and other skills, with behavior-based control to handle slips and avoid falls.
