Two versions of dunge beetle robots will be developed in the DLife project. 

The ALPHA being the first version. The ALPHA will be based on conventional actuators systems, which enables laboratory tests and comparison studies on the performance of bioinspired kinematics to conventional hexapod kinematics. 

The BETA version will use a new type of proprioceptive actuators and gearbox that enables higher performance, field tests, as well as comparison studies to conventional actuator systems.
