Four-legged robots have long used the stairs as the ultimate test for their capabilities. The tricky part comes when you put a bipedal robot on the same path and take its “vision” away. That’s what researchers from Oregon State University have done, and they have succeeded with their bipedal robot Cassie by training it in a simulator.

Developed by Dynamic Robotics Laboratory, Cassie is a headless robot based on a built provided by Agility Robotics that only uses its two legs to move around. After walking it through fire a while ago, the team of researchers is back with more testing. This time, they successfully taught the robot to go up and down the stairs with no vision.
