By John Toon Atlanta, GA-Using a combination of theory and experiment, researchers have developed a new approach for understanding and predicting how small legged robots – and potentially also animals – move on and interact with complex granular materials such as sand. The research could help create and advance the field of “terradynamics” – a […]
