A team of researchers at ETH Zurich recently introduced a new reinforcement learning–based model that could allow four-legged robots to interact with their surroundings in innovative ways ...

Four-legged robots, also known as quadrupedal robots, have advantageous characteristics, including the ability to rapidly walk on challenging terrains and keep a low center of gravity. Some four ...

An API upgrade made to the Boston Dynamics Spot allows the robot to run three times faster than it's capable as it rolls out ...

Ultimately, it’s an interesting take on robot locomotion. Rather than walking with two legs or four legs and dynamic stability, it takes full advantage of static stability instead. We’ve seen ...

Literally titled, "BigDog Weaponized," this creepy AF video shows the four-legged robot (with bull horns attached) slowly and menacingly trotting towards a "cape." These things are walking in ...

This innovative construction allows the robot to lock its wheels, enabling it to switch seamlessly between walking and climbing like a standard four-legged robot. This dual-mode locomotion ...

No this is not something from Terminator but yes, a robotic ‘dog’ has been let loose at Sellafield nuclear power station. Engineers from AtkinsRéalis and Sellafield Ltd have successfully operated a ...

Boston Dynamics has been building legged robots for decades, based on Raibert’s pioneering insights on how animals balance dynamically using the kind of low-level control provided by their ...

In the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic, flush with federal relief money, the Honolulu Police Department made national headlines for spending $150,000 on a robot dog. A four-legged machine that can ...

For the first time in history, robots will compete in a half marathon in Daxing District, Beijing, China in April.
