Scientists Train Robot Dog ANYmal to Navigate Parkour Course Using AI
- Scientists use AI to train four-legged "robot dog" to tackle basic parkour course at 5 mph
- Quadruped robot named ANYmal learns maneuvers like walking, crouching, climbing, jumping
- Training aims to match agility of free runners to improve robot navigation for search/rescue
- Uses neural networks to heighten robot's perception, locomotion, navigation skills
- Plans to deploy learning pipeline to other robots to improve disaster environment navigation
