Swiss researchers test a robot dog designed to speed up Moon and Mars exploration.

Researchers at the University of Basel have been putting ANYmal through its paces at their “Marslabor”.

In recent trials, the dog-like robot completed missions three times faster than human-guided alternatives.

Meet ANYmal, a four-legged dog-like robot designed by researchers at ETH Zürich in Switzerland, in hopes of using such robots for search-and-rescue on building sites or disaster areas, among other applications. Now ANYmal has been upgraded to perform rudimentary parkour moves, aka "free running", Ars Technica reports:

Legged #robots designed to explore planets as a team
Trio of #ANYmal robots customized by researchers at ETH Zurich were tested in environments close to harsh #lunar & #Mars terrain. Each specialized for particular functions but still flexible enough to cover for each other—if one glitches, others can take over tasks. Legged robots could join rovers & airborne #spacecraft, stepping into treacherous regions rovers cannot access and making exploration more efficient. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/new-legged-robots-designed-to-explore-planets-as-a-team/

Even if one robot fails, the rest of the team can offset its loss.

Le robot ANYmal est désormais capable d’appeler un ascenseur

L’École polytechnique de Zurich (ETH Zurich) travaille depuis un an seulement au développement d’un robot quadrupède baptisé ANYmal. Très semblable au Big Dog de Boston Dynamics, celui-ci est déjà capable de se déplacer avec aisance dans les couloirs de l’école tout en év...
