IHMC ( IHMC ) has created a new The Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition that allows its Boston Dynamic Atlas robot to walk across uneven ground. When steady footing is achieved, Atlas then does a quick step onto the next position, quickly heaving up its torso and moving its other leg forward. The bipedal machine, which has no prior knowledge of the terrain it will cross, shifts the weight of its feet and uses its torso and outstretched arms to balance, before making a step. The algorithm researchers said the robot can maintain its balance, even when walking on thin contact points.
