Can we develop a highly mobile, robus and inexpensive robotic platform inspired by insect locomotion?
RAPID PROTOTYPING
ifferent components of the robot were created using various rapid prototyping techniques. We soon found that there were many problems with making customized parts, but it was my first exposure to rapid prototyping and quite the learning experience.
