Meet, Cassie, the brainchild of engineers from Oregon State University who recently formed the company Agility Robotics.
Agility Robotics seeks to take advantage of the coming boom in demand for autonomous robots and train the next generation to build them.
Cassie can stand, steer, and take a pretty good fall without breaking. It’s half the weight of and much more capable than earlier robots developed at Oregon State.
“Our previous robot, ATRIAS, had motors that would work against each other, which was inefficient,” [Jonathan] Hurst said. “With Cassie, we’ve fixed this problem and added steering, feet, and a sealed system, so it will work outdoors in the rain and snow as we continue with our controller testing.”
