MIT Humanoid Robotics Competition MIT Humanoid Robotics Competition
Posted by: MITCSAIL

Video duration: 110 seconds

MIT students spent three weeks building and programming a humanoid robot for an exciting competition. The goal of the workshop was to give students hands-on experience with tackling humanoid robot control problems, such as stably walking on a flat surface, walking up stairs, running, and even fighting!
