Problem statement and objectives

Hulpverleners kunnen de kritieke situatie niet goed genoeg inschatten, omdat ze daar niet de juiste middelen voor hebben. Slachtoffers kunnen sneller geholpen worden als hulpverleners makkelijker in kleine ruimtes kunnen zoeken. (Translate)

Objectives:

• The solution should be ready for use
• The solution should be tiny/small
• The solution should be adaptable
• The solution should be strong (enough for mechanical loads)
• The solution should be autonomous
• The solution should be user-friendly
• The solution should be able to function in an unknown and dynamic environment
• The solution should be durable

[4] In this paper, taking into account the anatomy and the adhesive and locomotion capabilities of the spider (i.e., an eight-legged system), we present on the one hand a study of the foot force and torque distribution in different operative and slope conditions and, on the other hand, a posture evaluation by comparing different leg configurations in order to minimize the torque effort requirements.
