In this article we present our recent work on the simulation of a hexapod robot called PTinto. This robot is a prototype that has been designed to test the six legs locomotion system in the surrounding areas of the Tinto River (Huelva-Spain), which scientists have considered that could potentially have many similarities to the Mars surface. This kind of robots represents a great advance in the ...
