Quadrupedal robots are becoming a familiar sight, but engineers are still working out the full capabilities of these machines. Now, a group of researchers from MIT says one way to improve their functionality might be to use AI to help teach the bots how to walk and run. Usually, when engineers are creating the software that controls the movement of legged robots, they write a set of rules about how the machine should respond to certain inputs. So, if a robot's sensors detect x amount of force on leg y, it will respond by powering up motor a to exert torque b, and so on. Coding these parameters is complicated and time-consuming, but it gives researchers precise and predictable control over the robots.

"Will AI Take Control of Jobs in the Future?" you might wonder. When you ask a group of people for their thoughts, you will certainly get a range of responses. Some might argue that "no, AI will make our jobs easier," while others might argue that "yes, we will undoubtedly lose our jobs." It's a controversial issue that's been a mystery for a long time. However, since the release of COVID-19, a lot has changed in our lifestyles, businesses, and economy as a whole. AI is no exception, and it is educating us about its importance.
