RAIN was a community of enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and motivated individuals working together to solve some of the most challenging robotics problems in the world.
At its core were ten research institutions, led by the University of Manchester, each bringing their own expertise.
ANYmal is a quadrupedal robot designed for autonomous operation in challenging environments. For our ANYmal platform we are developing the sensor integration and foot-placement. We will also investigate the development of a belly-crawl type of motion with the addition of rollers/wheels under the main body of the robot (note that this assumes relatively smooth/flat environment).
