This paper presents a servo-based four-legged robot — named AIMEE — for the RoboCup Rescue competition.
The robot is described with regard to the mechanics which are based on a very modular construction kit, the electronics based
on a custom-made MPC 565 microcontroller board, and a software concept using a new behavior-based microkernel. The bio-inspired
control approach we use on AIMEE is based on Central Pattern Generators (CPG), posture-control primitives, and reflex-models.
