But this robot can’t see, and MIT’s researchers didn’t train it to walk or run. Rather, it taught itself, and in just three hours. The key: removing humans from most of the process.

The minotaur robot learns to walk on various terrains, such as flat ground (top), a soft mattress (middle), and a doormat with crevices (bottom).

Benefits of robots: 1. They never get tired. 2. They can lift very heavy things. 3. They can walk through (controlled) conflagrations at the University of Michigan.

More accurately, if the robot is immobilized by a broken leg, it only takes a few seconds for it to learn how to walk again, using a new gait that minimizes the impact of the broken leg.

Science Robot learns to walk while damaged Researchers look to animals for inspiration in developing a groundbreaking algorithm to help broken robots adapt quickly and keep moving.

But not for robots, this is an important part of a quest to make robots walk, bounce and most dramatically jump. All to unravel the extreme complexities of bipedal locomotion ...

The robot overlords are at it again—and this time, they’re learning how to walk faster than us. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Germany have created ...

Cornell University has created a robot so tiny it's not visible with the naked eye -- and made it walk using pulsed laser technology.

Facebook AI researchers have trained robots how to walk and be curious about the physical world and given them a sense of touch.

Google algorithm lets robots teach themselves to walk It's a milestone in making robots more useful.

[Robert Lam] has produced a number of video tutorials, his latest being a tutorial on how to make a biped robot walk. He is mainly covering the individual motions and actions. He doesn’t go into ...

Will robots soon be able to teach themselves ... everything? There's a robot in California teaching itself to walk. Its name is Darwin, and like a toddler, it teeters back and forth, trying and ...
