The research of the members of the Dynamic Legged Systems focuses on the design, the control and the motion planning aspects of agile legged robots. The interest of media and the public about robots and robotics applications is rapidly increasing. One of the side goals of our team is to disseminate our research communicating the new achievements of the Dynamic Legged Systems by press releases, YouTube Video and on social media like Facebook and Twitter.

Here is a list of items collected in the Italian and international press during the past years. If still available there is a link to the specific item as well, please report broken links to us.
