This two-wheeled robot can perform bunny hops. Researchers at the RAI Institute have developed the Ultra Mobile Vehicle, a two-wheeled robot capable of executing advanced maneuvers. It can jump onto tables, navigate smoothly, make sharp turns, and stop suddenly. The balance and stability of this vehicle are enhanced by a specialized technique known as a track stand, which allows it to remain stationary on two wheels. All aspects of driving, landing, balancing, and track stands are controlled through reinforcement learning, allowing the robot to continuously improve its performance through trial and error.
