As part of the TRUSSES project, Dr. Cynthia Sung and PhD student Shivangi Misra took a team of legged and wheeled robots out to White Sands National Park, a lunar-analogue environment, to test cooperative locomotion. These robots were able to connect to one another with rigid, extendable arms and climbed sandy dune slopes of up to 18 degrees while remaining tethered, a first-of-its-kind demonstration! During the expedition, our team also collected data to study the interaction forces be...| Sung Robotics Lab
