Watch an amazing two legged robot conquer an obstacle course: Machine walks over slopes and snow without falling

A bipedal robot has proven it doesn't need humans to help it maneuver uneven terrain or obstacles. Named MARLO, the machine has shown it can walk down steep slopes, through a thin layer of snow, and over uneven and unstable ground. The robot's feedback algorithms could be used to help program other two-legged robots as well as help prosthetic legs gain similar abilities. Dubbed MARLO, the cyborg is controlled with algorithms that allows the main controller to handle the forward and backward motion and the second to focus on side-to-side balance. This is the team's first robot that walk in all directions, which they believe can be used to help teach prosthetics to learn similar abilities Marlo is controlled with algorithms that enables the main controller to handle the forward and backward motion and the second to focus on side-to-side balance.
