Boston Dynamics' 'Atlas' Robot Walks Naturally with Straighter Legs
With a control algorithm by IHMC Robotics , the Atlas robot from Boston Dynamics demonstrates a more natural gait with straighter legs. Instead of controlling the height directly, Atlas tries to maintain its legs as straight as possible while walking. The work is published in the 2018 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation .
