Introduces ANYmal, a quadrupedal robot demonstrating dynamic motion in outdoor environments, suggesting future applicability for real-world tasks.

The aim is to introduce ANYmal, a quadrupedal robot optimized for mobility and dynamic performance in real-world scenarios.
Developed a robot with compliant joint modules and integrated electronics for enhanced torque control and robustness.
Conducted performance tests to evaluate the robot's torque control bandwidth, disturbance rejection, and impact robustness.
Performed experiments to assess walking gaits, trotting speeds, and maneuverability on steep surfaces.
Achieved a torque control bandwidth of over 70 Hz, indicating high responsiveness.
Demonstrated full-speed running requiring less than 280 W, providing an autonomy of over 2 hours.
Successfully performed dynamic maneuvers including trotting and stair crawling.

Hutter et al. (2016) studied this question.
