Looking Ahead: Key Questions & Science
• How can Sprawlita be made more efficient?
• What changes need to make rear leg extensors effective?
• Would adding axial compliance to legs help?
• What would be the cost/benefit of such changes?
• Terrain Adaptation:
• What changes in leg angles and thrust timing are needed?
• How would the robot respond to rough terrain, perturbations?
• What are the effects of adding horizontal sprawl?
• Increased maneuverability?
• Greater horizontal stability?
• At what cost to speed, efficiency?
• Insight into scaling laws:
• What do I need to change to make a micro sprawl?
