Overview
The RHex project aims to develop a six legged robot, capable of achieving a wide variety of dynamically dextrous tasks, such as walking, running, leaping over obstacles, climbing stairs, with a single autonomous platform. Our emphasis is on mechanical simplicity and the exploration of control strategies designed to work with the natural dynamics of the robot.

The Robotics Institute is part of the School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University.
