  • The LEMUR Robot can move faster, but here, it is not just walking- it is calculating the nodes ( intersections) of the mirrors and doing a careful, calculated and very accurate navigation through the segmented mirror mosaic.

    If you observe, you'll notice the legs are placed exactly at the nodes of the surface.

  • i don't understand why it's so slow.

    Must it really only move one joint at a time?

    Improve co-ordination.

  • cool, but why?
