Synergy-based robotic quadruped leveraging passivity for natural intelligence and behavioural diversity

Stella, Achkar and colleagues present a bio-inspired quadruped robot that uses passive dynamics, motor synergies, variable stiffness and self-organization to achieve robust, adaptive, animal-like movement with just four actuators.

How can LLMs transform the robotic design process?

We show that large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, can guide the robot design process, on both the conceptual and technical level, and we propose new human–AI co-design strategies and their societal implications.
