Legged robots for the real world
Meet robots built for the real world. Discover how they perceive their surroundings, adapt to changing conditions and navigate challenging environments. Learn how legged robots could help in places that are difficult, dangerous or far beyond human reach.
Imagine a legged robot stepping into the real world. Before it can move safely, it must first understand its surroundings. Where is the ground? What obstacles are in the way? Which path is safe to take?
For humans, answering these questions is almost effortless. For a robot, it is a major challenge. The real world is full of uneven terrain, unexpected obstacles and constantly changing conditions. To move safely, a robot must continuously perceive, interpret and react to its environment.
At the Robotic Systems Lab booth, discover how a legged robot sees and understands the world around it. Watch robot demonstrations, explore visualisations of sensor data and learn how perception and movement work together to enable safe navigation.
You will also see selected impressions from real-world tests and find out how researchers are developing robots that can operate reliably outside the laboratory, in complex and challenging environments.
