Recapitulating avian locomotion opens the door for simple and economical control of legged robots without sensory feedback systems. Specifically, the avian-inspired robot leg, BirdBot, has been developed with the potential for self-engagement and disengagement without sensory feedback control. This design approach embeds “intelligence by mechanics”, effectively sidesteps computational algorithms vulnerable to assumptions of control objectives, and avoids energy-costly corrective actuation.
