Marsupial robots act as a family. Like a kangaroo, a large mother robot carries one or more smaller child robots. The mother provides a docking platform to load and unload her "kids." Should the mother's eyesight (her computer vision) begin to fail, for example, her kids will guide her back to their home using wireless sensors and adjustable autonomy. Marsupial robots are useful in search and rescue missions, performing repetitious tasks, and handling hazardous materials. 1, record 4, English, - marsupial%20robot

Like all marsupials, wallabies have two special bones, called marsupial bones, attached to their hip bones. In female wallabies, the bones serve as an attachment site for abdominal muscles which help strengthen the abdominal wall. Although male wallabies don't have pouches, they too, have marsupial bones. 1, record 5, English, - marsupial%20bone

Des os épupibiens sont présents chez les monotrèmes et les marsupiaux: ils sont nommés individuellement os marsupial et se rencontrent dans les deux sexes. Ils ne sont donc pas exclusivement utilisés pour renforcer la poche marsupiale, mais ils participent cependant au soutien des jeunes que contient la poche. De telles apophyses pubiennes existaient déjà chez les cynodontes et autres reptiles synapsides. 1, record 5, French, - os%20marsupial
