Two VelociRoACH Robots Cooperatively Climb a Step

Media for the ICRA 2016 publication: «Step Climbing Cooperation Primitives for Legged Robots with a Reversible Connection»

This video demonstrates step climbing cooperation primitives that enable a team of two VelociRoACH robots to climb a taller step than they could individually. The addition of a winch module that exerts tensile forces on a tethered magnetic connector allows the robots to form connections, provide tether pulling assistance, and remove connections. Successful trials for (I) single robot t
