Robot on stairs

Finally, a video that walks you through what they're working on in improving gait.
Cassie is blind to the world, and treats all obstacles as a gait disturbance. 
At 1:10, "Cassie is able to walk forwards, backwards, and sideways over an obstacle without any knowledge of the environment. Cassie thinks the world is flat, and the combination of passive dynamics and software control is robust enough that this does not matter."

This reminds me of earlier experiments where a robot had to generate random movements to figure out how to walk, which then made it adaptable when encountering difficult terrain.

And more complex virtual experiments in self-designing a walking style.
