The robot — inspired by animals such as birds, meercats, and seals —can perform different modes of movement to navigate its environment, including flying, rolling, crawling, crouching, balancing, and ...

Robotics engineers have worked for decades and invested many millions of research dollars in attempts to create a robot that can walk or run as well as an animal. And yet, it remains the case that ...

With the help of a form of machine learning called deep reinforcement learning (DRL), the EPFL robot notably learned to transition from trotting to pronking – a leaping, arch-backed gait used by ...

Researchers from the University of Leeds have developed an AI system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its walking style and mimic the movements of a real animal in unfamiliar terrain. With ...
