  2. It can detect where it needs to jump and how to position it's legs. It uses LIDAR to see obstacles and jump over them. Alex Haston.

  3. It can detect the jumps
    IT sees the obstacle and measures how high it is and then adds as much power as needed to get over the jump

  4. it can detect the jumps, it uses a 2D laser distance sensor.

  5. This robot has the ability to jump over obstacles and regain balance without falling over. It's front legs stop, propel upward, and as soon as the front legs propel forward, the hind legs retract to clear the obstacle. Upon landing, the front legs touch the ground and the hind legs then provide balance upon there landing about a second later.

  6. It can detect objects and calculate how to jump over obstacles of varying height while running and then executes the calculated maneuver.

    1. It can detect obstacles and understand hope to jump over different height obstacles.
    2. It scans the area in front of of it with a laser based vision system and then predicts the best position from which to jump in order to safely clear it.
