Stable MABEL
Running up to 6.8 miles per hour, MABEL is believed to be the world’s fastest bipedal robot with knees. U-M researchers have been “training” MABEL to walk smoothly over flat surfaces, then on uneven ground, and now to jog. They accomplished this by progressively improving the feedback algorithms that enable the robot to keep its balance while reacting to its environment.
