Abstract: A system for moving an object within an environment, wherein the system includes at least one modular wheel configured to move the object. The modular wheel includes a body configured to be attached to the object, a wheel, a drive configured to rotate the wheel and a controller configured to control the drive. One or more processing devices configured are provided to receive an image stream including a plurality of captured images from each of a plurality of imaging devices, the plurality of imaging devices being configured to capture images of the object within the environment, analyse the images to determine an object location within the environment, generate control instructions at least in part using the determined object location and provide the control instructions to the controller, the controller being responsive to the control instructions to control the drive and thereby move the object.

Abstract: An apparatus for dampening forces on a robot appendage, the apparatus including: a body; a flexible membrane attached to the body to define an internal cavity, the membrane being configured to deform in response to an applied force; an outlet valve configured to allow fluid transfer out of the internal cavity as the flexible membrane deforms whereby, as fluid is transferred out of the internal cavity, the applying force is dampened; and, an inlet valve configured to allow fluid to transfer into the internal cavity, wherein at least one of the outlet valve and the inlet valve can be interchanged with another valve to adjust at least one of: an amount of fluid that can be transferred; and, a rate at which fluid can be transferred.
