KAIST humanoid robot Moonwalk demo
by Terrymiller: Michael Jackson
High-speed running and a Michael Jackson Moonwalk are both on the demo list from KAIST in South Korea, where a humanoid robot showed off athletic movement alongside its object handling. Pushing stuff up to 35 kg and lifting loads up to 20 kg is the heavy end of that, and learning-based control plus visual feedback is what sharpens how it deals with objects in front of it. Bro the Moonwalk got a robot doing it.

Researchers at CAST in South Korea have demonstrated an updated humanoid robot capable of handling heavy objects using visual feedback. The robot can push objects weighing up to 35 kilograms and lift loads of up to 20 kilograms. The team uses learning-based control methods and visual feedback to improve how the robot interacts with objects. Case researchers have also showcased the robot's athletic abilities, including high-speed running and Michael Jackson's iconic moonwalk.
