ANYmal robot excels in parkour feats thanks to neural network training – Interesting Engineering

The agility of ANYmal, a dog-like robot, has been enhanced with a new framework, enabling it to complete a basic parkour course at up to 6 feet (2 meters) per second. Parkour, the urban sport of navigating obstacles with athleticism, is gaining widespread popularity.

The modified learning approach, which emphasizes crawling, jumping, climbing, and crouching, may enable the robot to crawl under and vault over physical obstacles while conducting search and rescue operations.
