be careful to avoid steps above 5cm, slopes greater than 25°, and obstacles that may cause
the robot to fall. When the robot is walking on a terrain with a certain undulation or slope, the
controller should reduce the walking speed of the robot.
The robot have certain requirements for the ground to walk. Do not use robot on the ground
with very low friction, such as ice. Do not use robot on soft ground, such as thicker sponge
floors. For use on smoother floors, such as glass, tiles, etc., carefully and compliantly control
the robot to exercise, avoid strenuous exercise, and reduce the walking speed of the robot to
prevent the robot's foot from slipping and falling.
