Button discusses the potential impact of the robotic landing gear built by professors, research engineers and graduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology with funding from DARPA. With the aim of showing how the technology could handle the rolling deck of a ship in rough seas and to help helicopter pilots operating in austere terrain or at sea during takeoffs and landings. The three operational concepts for the robot legs according from Georgia Tech's aerospace engineering professor Mark Costello including a kit that could switch out a helicopter's traditional skids or wheeled landing gear for the legs, new helicopter designs with the robot legs as retractable landing gear and futuristic ideas, such as a Humvee designed to carry a detachable helicopter that would be equipped with the legs. Also noted the building of legs like those they hope to take to sea and tested their durability in the university's lab and the robotic legs' future landings.
