The outdoor trip is run on Sunday, 23 October 2016. MARLO walked around Michigan campus to enjoy the best season. The gantry followed it is for safety and initialization reason.

MARLO vs. Wavefield
Published on Oct 31, 2016
Wave FieldQuote:
MARLO is the first robot in the lab of Jessy Grizzle, the Elmer G. Gilbert Distinguished University Professor and the Jerry W. and Carol L. Levin Professor of Engineering, that can walk (and fall) in any direction. MARLO steps blindly without supports, sensing the changes in ground height and adjusting its gait according to terrain and speed. It draws on a library of gaits developed by PhD student Xingye Da.
In early attempts on the Wave Field in June, MARLO broke its legs trying and briefly burst into flames when an electrical connector blew.
By the end of July, Da and his fellow students updated the gaits and algorithms to help MARLO navigate the gentler waves between the earthen moguls by integrating the controller for forward-back motion with the one for side-to-side balance. With the team beginning to break up for vacation the following week, they took one last run at the Wave Field and were astonished at MARLO’s ability to walk down one of the gullies and back.
MARLO’s feedback control algorithms could help other two-legged robots as well as powered prosthetic legs gain similar capabilities.

MARLO is one of three ATRIAS 2.1 bipedal robots designed and built by Prof. Jonathan Hurst and the Dynamic Robotics Laboratory at Oregon State University. The control algorithms are developed at the University of Michigan.
The outdoor experiment was done on Sunday, 22 January 2017. MARLO is walking on the North Campus of the University of Michigan, near the FXB, the Aerospace building.

This video is from Winter 2017. For some odd reason, as Spring 2018 finally shows its face, the video came back to mind! We hope you enjoy it. Our attention is now on Cassie Blue and exoskeletons.
