Roboticists from Switzerland's EPFL institute bring us four awesome robots that are designed to mimic the movements and gait of animals. We chat with these biorobotics researchers about the lessons learned from studying snakes and quadrupeds, and how their robots can be used in practical situations. Plus, these robots are actually pretty cute, and their lifelike movements make great animated GIFs!
Thanks to Auke Ijspeert and his team for chatting with! Learn more about the EPFL's biorobotics laboratory here: http://biorob.epfl.ch/
