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 />
