Learning Robust Autonomous Navigation and Locomotion for Wheeled-legged Robots 

Good job! When it's in all wheel mode, maybe you can use some mechanical locks to fix the joints to save more electricity for the acutator on these joints. Keep only the necessary ones unlocked for steering left/right

Wow! this version of robot dog is amazing!!

Amazing work guys. Been following your progress for a long time. My favorite robot dog of all!

Congratulation 🎉 to the team who designed this revolutionary concept of locomotion.

This is brilliant. I absolutely love the combination of wheeled and legged locomotion, and the way they interact and complement each other, not just switch. Can't wait to see these things learn and become more agile and graceful.

Speed, climbing and jumping !!! That's amazing !

We have arrived at the template for autonomous public carts. Finally something that works

This is a game changer in autonomous navigation. Kudos to the team who made this possible.

INCREDIBLE DESIGN

very cool work excited to see how anymal has progressed over the years and for what comes next

Great job. The combination of modes is amazing!

Impressive policies! Amazing that the policies learned in simulation transfers to the real word

This is such a joy to look at

Good job guys!

This would be a really good replacement for the current food delivery robots, which are far too slow to outrun people with malicious intent!

Easily the most advanced robotic dog platform!

Oh shit! It's like a robotic Wheeler from Return to Oz.

if such a robot is much more economical than a robot on legs, then your idea will definitely win in the future!

I love the idea. Pure leg-walking is so inefficient

Man, that looked like one badass transformer...🔥🔥🔥

우와 충격적인 관절과 대응 타이어에 변화에 대한 허용범위와 대응 그리고 타이어는 바로 정교함에 여유를 주는 요소이고 관절대응은 정말 인간을 넘어서는 순발력이네요 연구진들 대단합니다.

If this is real (ie, not CGI) then it's very impressive. What troubles me is that robot voice. It lends a synthetic air to the entire video.

Cool, make one with handle bars and a seat please

Lol, Wizard of OZ! That robot is really strange and cool. You can see it processing walk or rollkneecaps. It also needs kneepads. It was bumping its poor knees. Looks a little clumsy, but with more time machine learning, I bet it will be awesome!

I've always said that the robot that we will ultimately use for general purpose won't look like a human and have normal fingers and legs. If you gonna build something to physically assist us why start with a human frame with its known limitations. These guys have it right. Take the best parts of as many species and vehicles as possible.

this is the ultimate solution for robot legs. felixable like human leg, faster than human leg

incredible, this needs further funding, improvement and to be sent to Mars

I'd love to know how you picked a scalable framework. Looks great.

ETH is top! This is getting better and better.

“Wake up babe, new Robotic System Labs: Legged Robotics at ETH Zürich video”

I would envision in future where people will ride on this thing like a horse or bike, VERY COOL!!!

Incredible design! Color me inspired

Looks like something you’d see in the “Tales from the Loop” books

Smart! Can’t believe this isn’t more common

I'm just in love with this thing, i don't get why everyone makes robots with normal feet when you can have this and waste less energy and be faster, especially if you can switch configuration. Are feet just more stable at this stage of learning?.

Anymal is such a great platform. If I were an engineer I'd definitely use wheels, but I'd make them be able to either lock to become just the end of the leg, or pivot out of the way. Relying on just the motor to lock the wheel gives the robot a less stable footing in some situations. Be groovy to teach the robot how to move with its wheel when that's the most efficient, but use feet when the wheels are an impediment. Like the Tachikoma on Ghost in the Shell. (The smart spider tanks. I imagine all the developers on this project are into science fiction).

Wow. Fantastic

woo! this is great.

Amazing ❤

love it keep the good work going❤

Next-Level

very smartly done !

Quite a phenomenon in the last few years.

This idea is impressive. I wonder how much this can extend the battery life compared to full walking mode.

This looks like a winning design.

Autobots.... Roll out!!!!

can you train it to skate along like an inline skater? I could see it hitting narrow gaps just balancing on one side and tucking in the the other wheel set

YAP ! Wheels/legs combination is the best for robot moving, if I make robot it will do the same.

this is absolutely impressive

What is the runtime for this robot before needing to be recharged? I could see something like this doing security for a compound, or, search and rescue etc, but only if it had several hours of charge

Good video!

This is excellent work! Have you published your source code and trained models?

I have seen the future of food delivery here, well done 👏 would love to work for you guys 😍

It reminds me of the wheelers from the movie return to OZ

Amazing! Now bombs are 10x faster in 10 km of autonomus range! ❤

The iterations are visibly distant from one another in thresholds and competence. And it's still accelerating.

They need to be strong enough to arm them with Panzerfaust and Tank Killer Rifles, first strike and fixed defensive positions are perfect for these killer robots

Does it give a precise control over the distance it moves?

The competition of robots.

The future has already begun

хочу себе такой, с местом для пассажира, с джойстиком (или еще каким устройством для управления, конечно чип в мозгу был бы прекрасен)

'Return to Oz' nightmares

Why is there a unitree B1 or B2 clip at the very end?

A variant of this could be to have a homolid robot ride an e-bike (or e-trike or e-unicycle or e scooter) and then dismount when and push the e-bike et al when needed then remount the bike and ride on. This then would extend this controller to humanoid robots where the wheels are not part of the bot but are separate. This allows legacy products that are already optimized to be efficient and already exist to serve the wheeled function and the two, the bot and the bike act as one just as the wheeled robot dog but with even more versatility. But the control is much the same the only addition being the AI to mount and dismount the e-bike and to be able to push it when walking. But even that is a plus in that it would be easir for the bot to maintain balance when walking when pushing a bike in that would give it more stability and make it less likely to fall. Thus imagaine a humaoid robot riding say a cargo e-bike and doing last mile deliveries where it rides along the street just as any cyclist would then gets off at its destination and leaves it package and then remount its cargo e-bike and moves to the next delivery. This is something a robot dog (even on wheels) would not be able to do.

This is the way

Lassie is onto it.

why not make the robot able to lock the wheels when going up stairs or such?

I wonder how this would function with mechanim wheels on it aswell

It will be cool when it's real. Notice the blurred image around the robot. Seems very CGI

You should make it so that the wheels can change from wheels to stilts or something so it can more efficiently go up stairs or hills Ps. If accomplished then in theory the robot could be able to walk 😅

I spotted Sarah Connor in the background in the distance.....👀

They stepped progress into hyper drive mode. 😂

Great progress on the robot. But why the AI voice? :(

So, Metalhead is gonna have wheels in this timeline of Black Mirror? yay

❤❤❤

Id like to see one that skates on ice.

Здравствуйте, Подскажите, пожалуйста, А могли бы установить кресло для инвалидов на этого робота? Интересно посмотреть, какой вездеход ступенькоход получится для инвалидов - колясочников.

So how much is it? You can also put a saddle on it

Wow! AKIRA 炭団 has been realized

Aren't you guys using the Nvidia Omniverse for simulation?

Probably a naive question, but why don't we use both legs and wheels together? wherever legs are better then wheels can be folded up likewise legs.

Agora testa numa favela aqui no RJ

What’s the battery life like?

this is just irl Puppytruck by Sean Dick

scale that up for my iron horse.

Fuchikoma predecessor

Please Have one pull Fairytale Carriage

Just skip the wheel motors and have it rollerblade around!

Nature is precius

i need a car like this plz 😨😨

That thing is nothing but another moving target... *THE WOODS AIN'T SAFE!*

Wondered what that dog was saying

i guess usage of motorised wheels is a failure instead of using rotating ankle/wrist that will allow to induce rollerskate moves and many others climbing abilitys

какой ёмкости аккумулятор, какой расход энергии ?

Early tachikoma.

Tachikoma, version 1

wheels on legs. there is a hunagrian expression about this: "iron ring.. from wood."
