Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The hexapod robots equipped with six legs have higher stability and adaptability to challenging terrains than other legged robots with fewer legs. The ability of hexapods to traverse challenging terrains largely depends on practical planning approaches on their footstep sequence. However, suppose the stability of the robotic system is insufficiently considered with the footstep planning method, it cannot track the planning results in some extremely complex terrains, e.g., foot slippage or robot overturn. In this work, we develop a quasi-static equilibrium footstep planning method for hexapod robots to traverse challenging terrains. The core of this planning method is the proposed 3D quasi-static equilibrium support region (3D QESR), which can be employed as a constraint for the planning method to ensure the quasi-static stability of the hexapod robots. A new graph search algorithm for footstep sequence planning is also presented. The simulation and experiment results show that the proposed 3D QESR method has superior performance in bypassing unstable irregular regions compared with the widely used support polygon method.
