# Svan M2: A Quadruped Robot Research Platform

Svan M2 is quadruped (four-legged) robot. It has three degrees of freedom in each leg that are electronically actuated and controlled by an onboard computer. Its carbon-fiber body makes it light weight yet sturdy. This robot has superior mobility over wheeled robots in non-flat terrain, like stairs, gaps, and outdoor environment. Mounted with various sensors, it can execute automated inspection and surveillance in industrial settings, assisting in preventive maintenance and improving overall efficiency.
