> The two footpads give operators full control over the trajectory of the robot, and allow the robot to make turns with a centripetal acceleration that exceeds that of most insects. > In this work, the major innovation was adding these footpads that allow it to make very, very fast turns. > Electrostatic footpads allow the robot to make turns with a centripetal acceleration that matches that of a cheetah.
