MIT ] RoboCup teams probably use their humanoids more aggressively than anyone else, so they have to come up with new techniques to keep them walking even as they gradually get more and more worn out. We’re looking forward to more details on how they’re making it work. DARPA ] Leaders in Lidar | Chapter 3: Take the Next Steps.
