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 ...

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.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined a dog and a car? Well, you might get something like W1, a wheeled quadruped robot that can switch between walking and rolling modes depending ...

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 ...

You might think that having four legs with wheels on the ends would already make a robot pretty useful. China's LimX Dynamics is taking things further, however, as its W1 quadruped robot is now able ...

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 ...

A team of researchers has developed a motor-free quadruped robot that mimics a dog’s running motion. Making use of machine learning to analyze canine motion, researchers from TU Delft and EPFL ...

Last year, Unitree Robotics captured headlines with its remarkable Go2 robot dog, wowing us with its circus tricks and GPT chat capabilities. Now, the company is back with a new twist: meet the Go2-W, ...
