Video Friday: ANYmal Robot, Jibo Unboxing, and Anki Overdrive Fast & Furious

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your Automaton bloggers. We'll also be posting a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next two months; here's what we have so far (send us your events!): Let us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today's videos. This video shows some impressively robust autonomous rough-terrain locomotion from ANYmal, but it's mostly worth watching for the epic ANYmal back massage (!) at the end: We present an architecture for rough-terrain locomotion with quadrupedal robots. All sensing, state estimation, mapping, control, and planning runs in real-time onboard the robot.
