The Robot That Finished the Marathon on One Charge

Listen for free

View show details

A research quadruped just finished a real public marathon on one charge, and the result is now in Nature.

This episode unpacks why legs are usually energy disasters, what “cost of transport” actually measures, and why a four-hour race on ordinary roads may matter more for disaster work and inspection than another parkour clip. Hardware, learned control, and a stubbornly public clock.
