Blog Post Image: Two-legged robot walks outside at U-Michigan

MARLO, a bipedal robot, next to its predecessor, MABEL, in a lab located in the Environmental and Water Resources Engineering Building on November 19, 2013. MARLO is the successor in EECS Professor Jessy W. Grizzle’s research group to MABEL, another bipedal robot that is being retired to be displayed in the Chicago Field Museum. Buss and members of Grizzle’s research group test the robot, making minute adjustments to improve its ability to walk in hopes of having applications in human prosthetics and the general robotics community.
