What. The. Fudge.
When we covered Boston Dynamics’ SpotMini we didn’t realise they would have a competitor of this calibre by 2017.
This time around, we’d like to introduce you to ETH Zurich’s all new ANYmal – only similar in appearance to some of Boston Dynamics’ robots because “four legs is a good model for building stable robots”.
Agreed.
Witness the wittiness:
Pretty damn cute if you ask me.
The forward-thinkers at ETH Zurich have been developing ANYmal for more than a year now, with a vision of one day completing tasks like “search and rescue”.
The Verge shares some truth:
[C]reating robots that can navigate indoor spaces is pretty essential. We shouldn’t have to build an entirely new infrastructure for future robots doing things like making deliveries in buildings, or helping the elderly. They should adapt to our environments, not the other way round.
Couldn’t agree more.
Ok, bye now:
