Hardware is the Software: The Mechanical Intelligence of the Mountain Goat. 🐐🏔️ Traditional robots rely on complex code to survive steep slopes, but researchers at Morphlab Imperial are shifting the "brain" to the feet. This mountain goat-inspired hoof design utilizes situated heuristics-based engineering meaning the intelligence is physically built into the hardware. Through specific geometries and material selection, the hoof mechanically "decides" how to grip and adapt to inclined natural s
