Rubble Traversal

Rubble Traversal is a robotic mobility strategy within rescue robotics that enables autonomous navigation through irregular, fragmented, and unstable terrain formed by collapsed structures, distinguishing itself from general terrain traversal by its focus on dynamic stability, obstacle reactivity, and real-time path adaptation in unstructured disaster environments.
