Video Friday: RiSE Walks, Runs

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 15 of May , 2009 at 1:19 am

We’ve seen any number of robots that are good at climbing up vertical surfaces, and RiSE is one of the more talented ones. Unlike the more specialized climbers, RiSE has no trouble walking on level ground or uneven terrain and can even make the transition from walking to climbing and back again, autonomously. It’s not as fast on the ground as a PackBot and it can’t climb smooth surfaces like a GeckoBot, but it’s a pretty darn good compromise, if you ask me.
