In the complex amphibious environment, amphibious robots should possess multi-capabilities to walk on rough ground, maneuver underwater, and pass through transitional zones such as sandy and muddy terrain.
The capability to walk successfully over rolling terrain indirectly demonstrates the robustness of the implementation.
Dealing with day-today reality required a level of detailed decision making that most perceived as beyond their capabilities, preferring to walk away.
"David doesn't have the capabilities to just walk around," he said.
Imagine they did not have "live" capability, but had to walk their raw taped reports to a satellite uplink truck to send content back to headquarters in Bristol, Conn.
Like other skeptics, Henderson assumed that the winged beasts must have lost their flight capabilities somewhere during their evolution, forcing them to walk.
But it will hardly be alone there in its use of technologies that are giving a new generation of toys extraordinary capabilities to fly, float, walk and roll — almost always inexpensively — in ways unimaginable just a few years ago.
At the end of the spectrum where these robots could restore mobility to paraplegic users and others who've lost the ability to walk, these exoskeletons could provide standing and walking capabilities; they are a light-enough design (at around 40 lbs) to be transported and put on without any extra help, and with transportation possible even on a user's existing wheelchair.
Thus, while initially walking or standing could only be inferred during a short period of time around the interaction with the environment, after transfer learning to an on-body sensor, the capability to infer walking or standing is continuously available.
"The work capability assessment process is deeply unfair for people with a mental illness – it's like asking someone in a wheelchair to walk to the assessment centre".
