Robot dog  Structure, Actuation, Sensing, and Intelligence System Background  Since the early 1960s, the design, development and motion planning of mobile robots have been the main research topics in robotics technology. At that time, the first autonomous wheeled robots (such as Shakey The Robot(1966)) demonstrated basic sensing and navigation capabilities. Over the following decades, mobile robots expanded into key application areas, including industrial automation (in the 1970s), space exploration by NASA rovers (since 1997), military reconnaissance and operations in hazardous environments. However, traditional wheeled and tracked robots are still limited to uneven, rocky or stair terrains because they cannot imitate the adaptability of biological movement. To overcome these limitations, researchers…
