BigDog was able to go both uphill and downhill, as well as even be kicked from the side while maintaining balance. Good point regarding being passive, I figured that somehow the robot would figure out the slope and provide extra power when the terrain was uneven or if it would be unable to maintain a given speed passively.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoBigDog didn't walk downhill passively, did it?
- artmageddon 15y agoNo, it didn't. Sorry if that's how it came across - I was just supposing that this concept could be use to extend the life of a robot such as BigDog or others by controlling how passive it was in response to downhill slopes.
