Robot Mobility in Harsh Environments Using Hydraulically Actuated Articulated Limbs

Explore the utilization of hydraulically actuated limbs for enhancing robot mobility in challenging environments, particularly in urban search and rescue scenarios. This approach aims to create simple, robust, and powerful robots for time-sensitive rescue missions in collapsed buildings where traditional robots fall short.
