In this second “catching up post” we show you some better walking! This time battery-powered, untethered, with much softer PD settings


We took Stanley to a rooftop terrace to experiment on some less even terrain. At this point we are running a controller that does not make use of the ground reaction forces.


Stanley’s mechanical cable-driven quasi direct drive actuators allow for great high-acceleration and high-frequency performance. We’re showcasing it here with a “spin in place” motion. Stanley is able to do a full 360deg rotation per second - 60RPM!
