Robot Dog Learns New Clambering Tricks (VIDEO) University of Southern California This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video. Caption The USC Viterbi School of Engineering's Computational Learning and Motor Control Lab's quadruped robot program maintained its target speed in five out of six runs. The goal of the Learning Locomotion project is to program a small dog-like four-footed robot to find its way at a speed of more than 7.2 cm/sec over six different sets of obstacles and rough terrain using machine learning techniques. Larger versions of the robot may ultimately be used to negotiate difficult terrain for rescue, interplanetary exploration, or supply.
