AI-optimized robot footpads improve quadruped robot energy efficiency

Caption

Porous 3D-printed triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) metastructure footpads store and release impact energy during walking. Combined with a deep reinforcement learning controller, they reduced battery power consumption by up to 6.2%.
