Quaddle robot dog demonstrates movement over loose rubble and self-recovery from falls
1 reports · 1 sources
The Quaddle quadruped robot demonstrated locomotion on loose rubble terrain in testing, including rolling through rubble areas; when a maneuver fails and it tips over, it can right itself autonomously rather than remaining on the ground. This recovery is handled uniformly by the built-in IMU-driven Auto Mode, which covers tilt, fall, being lifted/put down, and impact detection.

- Robot dog keeps discovering new ways to move across gravel terrain
A small quadruped robot tested its mobility on loose gravel terrain and, through continuous trial and error, discovered new ways of moving, including rolling across gravel patches. When a maneuver fails, it can rely on the built-in IMU's Auto Mode to automatically right itself; this mode uniformly handles tilting, falling, being lifted or set down, and impact detection.
