Overview
MANTIS is a multi-legged robot with six extremities developed for interdisciplinary research in mobile manipulation. It operates in two postures: using the four rear legs for locomotion and the two front legs for manipulation in one posture, while walking on all six extremities in its locomotion posture. This versatility allows it to navigate complex scenarios effectively. It is designed as an autonomous system with integrated computing and a diverse sensory suite for environment interaction and internal monitoring.
