Meet the Ascento robot: a two-wheeled agile jumping robot that uses wheels and legs to move quickly on flat terrain and overcome obstacles. The robot can jump 0.4m and has max speed of 8.0 km/h.
The combination of springs and high torque motors allow this robot to climb stairs and other obstacles. The robot can also recover from a fall. It has 3D printed parts. Ascento uses cameras and sensors to map and perceive its surroundings.
