Bionic amphibious quadruped robots are a huge leap in robotics, with the ability to navigate various terrains with agility and efficiency. In this study, the researchers utilized numerical simulations of motion tests to assess the locomotion skills of these extraordinary robotic systems. They learned a lot about their functioning and problems by rigorously analyzing performance parameters across various terrains and conditions, such as terrain adaptability, traversal speed, energy efficiency, stability, and manoeuvrability. The results they obtained highlighted the importance of adaptive control algorithms and mechanical designs in maximizing traversal speed and energy economy, especially while negotiating difficult terrains. In addition, the study demonstrated the interdisciplinary character of research in bionic amphibious quadruped robots, drawing on insights from biomechanics, control theory, robotics, and computational modelling. By combining previous research and utilizing computational simulation approaches, they opened the road for the creation of versatile and durable robotic systems capable of navigating difficult terrains and surroundings with precision and efficiency. Future research efforts could focus on improving design and control, investigating novel propulsion mechanisms, adaptive locomotion tactics, and biomimetic control algorithms to improve performance and adaptability. Addressing the challenges identified in the research and seizing opportunities for innovation will drive the development of robotic systems that push the limits of locomotion capabilities and open up new possibilities for applications in exploration, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and beyond.
