Behold: The ASV, a six-legged all-terrain "Adaptive Suspension Vehicle", intended to demonstrate the feasibility of transport of cargo for industrial and military applications over very rough terrain. Collaborators Dr. Robert McGhee of NPS and Dr. Kenneth Waldron studied nature to design its motion. Like a grasshopper, the ASV could pair its legs to deal with obstacles.
