SA. A completely integrated, six-legged, micro robot system. <strong>The</strong> legged design<br />
maximum dexterity. Legs also provide a unique sensory system for<br />
tal interaction. It is equipped with a sensor network that includes 150<br />
<strong>of</strong> 12 different types. <strong>The</strong> legs are instrumented so that it can determine the lay<br />
IaTain, the surface texture, hardness, and even color. <strong>The</strong> gyro-stabilized camera<br />
nder can be used for gathering data beyond the robot's immediatc reach. This<br />
perfonnance system is able to walk quickly, climb over obstacles, and perform<br />
