Most legged robots must negotiate unknown environments with little or no terrain knowledge, as autonomousterrain mapping for robots is limited. A predictive terrain contour mapping strategy is proposed, which employsthe use of a feed‐forward neural network to predict the contours in environments, based on the positions ofthe neighboring legs. The predicted performance is better than previous implementations. © 2002 John Wiley& Sons, Inc.
