A research project funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher education and aimed at developing an autonomous walking robot for patrol and surveillance tasks. The research was focused on extending the autonomy and closing the perception-planning-action loop on-board of the walking machine. The outcome of the project are new methods for localization of legged robots, new terrain mapping techniques, and foothold selection algorithms.
