This single-foot robot is “designed to create a foundation for future bobiy robot development,” but individually, I think it’s correct.

Ground Control made multi -level waves at IEEE’s International Conference on Robotics and Automation 2025 in Atlanta! We competed in the Startup Pitch competition and demo our robot at our booth, on the NIST standard area and around the conference. We were proud to be a finalist for Best Expo demo and participate in a robot parade.

Thanks, Christina!
Quadruple robots have demonstrated remarkable agility and strength in crossing complex areas. However, they are limited to conducting object interactions that require continuous contact. In this work, we present the folkotch, a system that takes the quadrangular robots with touching sensation to address a challenging task in this category: long distance transport of unprotected cylindrical objects, which usually require a custom mounting mechanism to maintain stability.

Thanks, Changi!
In this video, digit is performing autonomous functions using the entire body controller for mobile manipulation. This new controller was trained in simulation, enabled to execute the tasks to navigate the new environment and manipulate items.

Not bad, although it is worth indicating that those shelves are not representatives of any market that I have ever done.

It is always good to see the robot presented as a casual solution as a problem, as you know, robot.

However, you really want to answer, however, “Why is there water on the floor?”

Strengthening Learning (RL) has extended the control of physics-based and robotic characters that track kinematic reference speeds. We propose a multi-purpose reinforcement of learning outline that airing a single policy on a set of weight, which spreads the Prataro front of the reward trade-off. Within this structure, the weight can be chosen and tuned after training, which is faster the time of recurrence. We demonstrate how this better workflow can be used to perform excessive dynamic movements with robot character.
