MIT · Quadruped · 2019
A 9 kg agile quadruped from MIT (2019) — the first robot of its kind to do a backflip. Built from low-cost custom modular actuators, designed to survive high-impact falls and operate upside-down, MIT built a pack of them for distributed locomotion research. Hugely influential on the affordable-quadruped wave.
