R2G2: Robot with Rectilinear Gait for Ground Operations

This video shows a new limbless robot called R2G2 (Robot with Rectilinear Gait for Ground operations) developed at the Maryland Robotics Center at the University of Maryland. This robot uses exaggerated rectilinear gait to move through cluttered spaces. The new gait enables it to overcome limitations of slow speeds associated with the body undulation based locomotion.
