The company Agility Robotics is an offshoot of Oregon State University and they have recently announced their impressive new biped robot Cassie. Cassie was built to be a dynamic and robust mobile platform. The team had sought out to create a dynamic and versatile new walking robot that is as agile as human gait, which resulted in an ostrich looking robot.
Recently, a group of Swiss researchers from the University of Zurich and IDSIA have created an AI drone that not only navigates through dense forests, but was also 85% successful in finding the correct path. 85% doesn’t seem like a lot, but when compared to 82% percent with human trials its safe to assume the future of search and rescue missions will definitely be drone assisted.
