The quest for agile quadrupedal robots is limited by handcrafted reward design in reinforcement learning. While animal motion capture provides 3D references, its cost prohibits scaling. Video learning ...

Researchers have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its gait to different, unfamiliar terrain, just like a real animal, in what is believed to ...

Nature has spent millions of years perfecting movement, efficiency, and survival. Engineers are now borrowing those evolutionary lessons to build robots capable of tackling some of humanity’s toughest ...

Of course, ethorobotics is not a substitute for humans carefully observing and studying other animals, but it's clear we can learn a lot from the use of robots in our attempts to learn more about a ...
