Robot dogs have many applications. They can be used to inspect plants, dangerous areas, and even vineyards. As this video shows, robots of this type can be used to explore vineyards. RoboHike accomplishes this by modeling, identifying, and mapping footholds for quadrupedal robots with perception and learning approaches.
As Dimitrios Kanoulas explains on YouTube, the aim is to build robots that can automate dangerous tasks.
