  The recent availability of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) legged robot
platforms have opened up new opportunities in deploying legged systems into
different scenarios. While the main advantage of legged robots is their ability
to traverse unstructured terrain, there are still large gaps between what robot
platforms can achieve and their animal counterparts. Therefore, when deploying
as part of a heterogeneous robot team of different platforms, it is beneficial
to understand the different scenarios where a legged platform would perform
better than a wheeled, tracked or aerial platform. Two COTS quadruped robots,
Ghost Robotics' Vision 60 and Boston Dynamics' Spot, were deployed into a
heterogeneous team. A description of some of the challenges faced while
integrating the platforms, as well as some experiments in traversing different
terrains are provided to give insight into the real-world deployment of legged
robots.
