Creepy robotic dog that can crawl, walk and run shown fending off humans who try to push it over
Scientists have unveiled a quadrupedal robot that can open doors, ride an elevator and, in perhaps one of the creepiest scenarios, move uninterrupted after being pushed over by a human. Called the'ANYmal,' the device is described as an autonomous robot that can navigate nearly any terrain, including ones deemed unsafe for human entry. Anymal's robotic limbs allow it to move at a pace that's comparable to that of a human and it can carry a payload of up to 22lbs. It was developed by Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich University in Switzerland and has been shown in several videos completing various tasks. The latest clip shows Anymal using an articulated arm to turn a door handle, then push the door open with ease.
