Abstract: In the first part of the paper are presented aspects regarding the locomotion of biosystems. In the second part, the robots from biosystems are classified into two categories: robots with single locomotion and robots with hybrid locomotion. Robots with hybrid locomotion are further classified and examples from specialized literature are presented. At the end of the paper are presented the development trends of robots in this field.
Keywords: robots, bioinspired, locomotion, hybrids.
