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 this technology, the robot can change how it moves by itself, without needing human intervention to tell it when and how to change its stride. This feature is absent in the current generation of robots, making it a first-of-its-kind machine.
This pioneering technology is a game changer for legged robots, since they can be used in dangerous places where human lives are at risk, such as nuclear decommissioning or search and rescue.
