A Dog-Like Robot Runs Autonomously Once Started

Robotics, Science /

In recent times, there has been a surge in quadruped “robotic dogs,” but they typically rely on control motors to sustain their running movements. In contrast, a novel experimental version continues to run independently after being initiated. A Canadian robotics student named Mickaël Achkar developed the device at Switzerland’s EPFL research institute by utilizing motion-capture
