Robot Walking on Granular Terrain

Posted on May 23, 2018

The simulation consists of a six-legged robot which walks over granular terrain. This project begins to model the experiment presented in A Terradynamics of Legged Locomotion on Granular Media by Li, Zhang, and Goldman. Currently, the terrain is composed of 10,000 spheres.
