Abstract

See full text

Examples relating to controlling extendable legs of a robotic device for use of a mechanical gripper are described herein. A robotic device may include one or more legs configured with a mechanical gripper coupled to the leg at a first position away from the distal end of the leg. The mechanical gripper may transition between the first position and a second position on the leg proximate to the distal end that enables the robotic device to use the mechanical gripper to perform grip operations. A control system of the robotic device may modify an orientation of the robotic device to at least position the robotic device on one or more legs other than the leg comprising the mechanical gripper, and transitions the mechanical gripper from the first position to the second position to perform the given grip operation of the input.
