ALMA Quadrupedal Robot Can Move While Performing Tasks

Here is a quadrupedal robot with a 6 degrees of freedom arm that can perform dynamic movement while manipulating things. Robotic Systems Lab has come up with a motion planning and control for ALMA torque-controlled robot that enables it to walk, trot, and pace while executing tasks.

The robot features reactive collaboration and torque posture optimization to increase the arm’s reachability. More info is available here.
