ETH Zurich's ANYmal quadruped robot solves giant Rubik's Cube without using its hands

Reddit r/robotics

ETH Zurich's ANYmal quadruped robot solved a 10-pound giant Rubik's Cube using only its feet, three times, taking about 8 to 9 minutes each time. The demonstration combines computer vision, a traditional Rubik's Cube solving algorithm, and reinforcement learning to teach the robot to balance, apply force, and correct errors. This "pedipulation" (manipulation with feet) could enable future robots to open doors, turn valves, or move obstacles without hands.
