A bicycle robot from the Robotics and AI Institute (RAI) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has become the first to perform an unassisted acrobatic front flip. RAI calls the bicycle robot an ultra-mobility vehicle (UMV). It can reach a height of 3 feet (0.9 meters) and can jump from the floor onto a platform. The contributions of a Georgia Tech Ph.D. student helped make these feats possible through a robot control policy he developed.A bicycle robot from the Robotics and AI Institute (RAI) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has become the first to perform an unassisted acrobatic front flip.
