ETH Zurich's ANYmal-D solves a giant Rubik's Cube with its feet
Where it stands: ETH Zurich's ANYmal-D robot has scanned and solved a giant Rubik's Cube using only its feet, combining conventional planning with learned whole-body control. The feat was a lab demonstration, not a deployment. What to watch next is whether it can be replicated and whether the whole-body-control stack transfers to useful work.
