Tech: Incredible four-wheeled robot can drive at speeds of up to 14mph or stand up on two legs

Forget about Optimus Prime and Megatron! Swiss experts have developed a four-wheeled robot that can rear up on its hind legs and spin like a performing poodle. Developed by ETH Zürich spin-off Swiss-Mile, the agile bot that can reach speeds of up to 14 mph (23 kph) is the latest iteration of the'ANYMal' robot concept. The design -- which superficially resembles Boston Dynamics' robot dog, Spot -- has previously been shown using its AI to get back up after being kicked over. In a newly-released video, the robot is shown not only performing its standing trick, but also wheeling along and taking ascending and descending steps in its stride.
