What are some examples of bio-inspired locomotion in robotics, and how do robots emulate the movement strategies of animals such as insects, reptiles, and mammals to navigate challenging terrains and environments?

Examples include robotic insects, snake robots, and quadrupedal robots inspired by the locomotion and behavior of real animals. These robots use biomimetic design principles such as legged propulsion, slithering motion, and compliant mechanisms to traverse rough terrain, climb obstacles, or swim underwater, demonstrating agility, adaptability, and efficiency in locomotion tasks.
