Tests in the lab showed that real moose hooves act like suction cups, reducing the force needed to pull their feet out of sticky mud. The key lies in the way the split hooves break the suction when ...
The robot feet, inspired by moose hooves, improve movement on mud and snow by reducing sinkage, suction force, and energy use on difficult terrains. A robot with “moose shoes”. Roboticists at the ...
According to the research paper published in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, these new class of feet are inspired by animal hooves. With the new design of moose-like feet, robots can easily walk ...
