 The RiSE project is a
collaboration among researchers at the University of Pennsylvania,
Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, Lewis & Clark University
and Boston Dynamics Inc. to develop an agile climbing robot based on
principles gleaned from the study of climbing animals. This project is
funded by the DARPA
Biodynotics Program.
The Stanford Biomimetic Robotics lab is primarily responsible for
developing
integrated structures for legs and feet. The feet incorporate
micro-spines and novel adhesives, embedded sensors and actuators, and
spatially tailored compliant materials to enable fast moving legged
mobile robots to locomote quickly over unstructured terrains and up
slopes including vertical walls.
