A next-generation humanoid lower-body platform from the team of Professor Hae-Won Park (Hubo Lab) in KAIST's Department of Mechanical Engineering, which built its own motors, reducers and drivers and transferred reinforcement-learning walking policies from simulation to the real robot. It demonstrated a top speed of 3.25 m/s (about 12 km/h) on flat ground and climbing steps of 30 cm or more, and the team plans to expand it into a full-body humanoid by combining it with an upper body and hands with groups including those of Professors Jemin Hwangbo and Sangbae Kim (MIT).
