Researchers have designed a system that makes an off-the-shelf quadruped robot nimble enough to walk a narrow balance beam -- a feat that is likely the first of its kind. Researchers in Carnegie ...

Two years ago we first heard about the Swiss-Mile Robot, a quadruped bot with powered wheels on the ends of its four legs. It's now in for some competition, as China's LimX Dynamics has announced it ...

If you think about it, the fact that we often call quadrupedal machines “robot dogs” is pretty generous. Sure, they have four legs and can walk or crouch, but real dogs are miles ahead of their robot ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich are very good at keeping robots standing upright. Back in 2022, the school’s robotics team taught the quadrupedal ANYmal robot how to hike up mountains without falling over.

The proliferation of robots like Boston Dynamics’ Spot has showcased the versatility of quadrupeds. These systems have thrived at walking up stairs, traversing small obstacles, and navigating uneven ...

Swiss Mile's ANYmal robot is a remarkable beast, capable of getting around as a wheeled quadruped, or standing up on its hind legs and using its front wheels as hands. Now, it's learning to do useful ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Four legged, dog-inspired robots have grown in popularity among ...

Inventors and researchers have been developing robots for almost 70 years. To date, all the machines they have built – whether for factories or elsewhere – have had one thing in common: they are ...

The overall weight of Black Panther 2.0 is 38 kg and the standing height is 0.63 m. HIC-ZJU claims it is currently the fastest quadruped robot in the world, with a speed of up to 10 m/s. The R&D team ...

Combining electrical and mechanical technology to design a legged robot can be challenging. Combining electrical and mechanical technology to design a legged robot can be challenging. However, Boston ...

Scientists from the LASSIE project with their quadruped robot at White Sands National Park, New Mexico in August. The quadruped robot was able to scout and train autonomously. The work is part of NASA ...
