Open on its siteThe question it answers
How does a robot dog walk, climb a step, see all around and get back up?
The steps
- 1Walk
- 2Climb a step
- 3What it sees
- 4Fall and get up
- 5Lift the panels
- 6One leg, three motors
- 7Take it apart
- 8Put it back together
The big idea: 12 motors and 5 pairs of eyes keep it standing (both figures are from Boston Dynamics).
The question, steps and idea are translated from the original site.
What it is
Boston Dynamics’ robot dog: it walks, climbs a step, falls and gets up. Then you remove its panels and see how each leg uses three motors.
