The robot participated in the 22nd Sangju Dried-Persimmon Marathon in the North Gyeongsang Province city of South Korea.

RAIBO2 and co-first authors of the related research at the Ph.D. program of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST . Choongin Lee, Donghoon Youm, and Jeongsoo Park .A quadrupedal walking robot developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology has finished a marathon with flying colors.

“Through the marathon project, we demonstrated that RAIBO2 has the walking performance to stably execute services such as delivery and patrol in urban environments with many people and random objects,” said Choongin Lee, a Ph.D. student at KAIST. They trained RAIBO2 in a simulated environment called RaiSim, which allowed them to simulate various terrains like slopes, stairs, and icy roads. This training ensured stable walking performance.

Walking may seem to be a simple human activity, but it involves a complex interplay of forces and movements. Each step results in a significant impact as the robot’s foot strikes the ground. These repeated impacts generate vibrations and stresses that can damage the robot’s mechanical components.
