…Laboratory (CSAIL), have developed a legged robot that can dribble a soccer ball under the same conditions as humans. The robot used a mixture of onboard sensing and computing to traverse different natural terrains such as sand, gravel, mud, and snow. It could also adapt to their varied impact on the ball’s motion. Like any committed athlete, “DribbleBot” could get…
