Physics Approaches to Natural Locomotion: Every Robot Is an Experiment

Abstract

In 1990, Eric Krotkov authored a paper "Active perception for legged locomotion: every step is an experiments", where he discussed how legged robots could improve performance on natural terrain by "stepping on and kicking things" as a perception task. When integrated with vision, this approach could lead to better robot locomotion. In addition, such processes could also improve understanding of the terrain.
