Researchers have developed a new control approach that enables a legged robot, called ANYmal, to move quickly and robustly over difficult terrain. Thanks to machine learning, the robot can combine its visual perception of the environment with its sense of touch for the first time.
This is made possible by a new control technology, which researchers at ETH Zurich. This allows it to tackle rough terrain faster, more efficiently and, above all, more robustly. In the future, ANYmal can be used anywhere that is too dangerous for humans or too impassable for other robots.
