A Different Approach to Planetary Exploration
The prevalent reliance on wheeled rovers for planetary exploration presents a bottleneck in accessing challenging terrains, necessitating a disruptive solution. Legs, with their inherent adaptability, emerge as the key to unlocking access to scientifically rich and challenging environments previously deemed inaccessible.
🤖 Meet Continuity! - Breaking free from the constraints of conventional wheeled rovers, Continuity can walk on uncharted terrains, equipped with agile legs that ensure adaptability and agility in the most challenging extraterrestrial landscapes.
🚀 What sets Continuity apart? - Current quadruped robots have rigid legs controlled by motors that simulate mechanical springs. Continuity's legs are equipped with flexible blades and a custom design that ensures passive mechanical compliance, reducing the current needed and the code complexity.
