A four-legged robot was successfully tested by scientists and AI experts from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). The machine performed high-speed maneuvers.
According to an article published by KIST in the journal Science Robotics, the robot is capable of planning and tracking its own movements, giving it the freedom to move freely in various environments.
Called Raibo, it can plan its own route and indicate where to place its feet via a controller. This guidance allows it to use its body to move forward safely, enabling extreme movements.
The robot’s system was built using a neural network previously trained with terrain data used by the planner along with information from the camera and response sensors.
Raibo can run vertically on a wall for short distances, jump gaps of 1.3 meters, and traverse rocky terrain including climbing ramps and stairs.
The KIST team is studying how to build a second version of the machine, increasing its capabilities and movements to be used in difficult terrain zones.
