Robot Locomotion

Robot locomotion refers to how robots move from one place to another. It involves designing and programming mechanisms like wheels, legs, or tracks that enable movement across different environments. Engineers consider factors such as stability, efficiency, and terrain type to develop suitable movement strategies. For example, wheeled robots are good on smooth surfaces, while legged robots can navigate rough, uneven terrain. The goal is to create robots that can move reliably, efficiently, and safely, mimicking natural movement or optimizing for specific tasks, which advances robotics in areas like exploration, rescue, and delivery.
