Created by researchers at the University of Oslo, DyRET (Dynamic Robot for Embodied Testing) is a quadruped robot which has learned how to walk on its own. The results may look clumsy, but there's ...

Atlas, Boston Dynamics’ dancing humanoid, can now use a single model for walking and grasping—a significant step toward ...

Walking is hard, and what's hard for humans is equally confounding for robots. But with the help of machine learning, a robot learned to walk in just a few hours—a good 12 months faster than the ...

A new robot has overcome a fundamental challenge of locomotion by teaching itself how to walk. Researchers from Google developed algorithms that helped the four-legged bot to learn how to walk ...

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.

A major hurdle to deploying legged robots, whether with two, four, or even more legs, is figuring out how the robot will respond to changing conditions. Humans can adapt as they walk over rocks ...

Like a newborn animal, a four-legged robot stumbles around during its first walking attempts. But while a foal or a giraffe needs much longer to master walking, the robot learns to move forward ...

To get the robot to move to the beat, Hong and his team scripted the entire dance. It was programmed frame by frame on a computer, not constructed by recording the captured motion of a human dancer.

Inside these six-legged robots brains are maps of movement possibilities. With a limb disabled, the robot tries to walk according to its previous pattern.

Now, a team of roboticists, paleontologists and biologists is using robots to study how the ancestors of modern land animals transitioned from swimming to walking, about 390 million years ago.

How robots could run and walk like animals and humans Robots are helping perform surgeries in the operating room, catching the journalism bug and even working on late-night TV.
