Why the Berts were developed
The Berts are flexible quadrupeds developed to study how natural vibrations can improve movement in mechanical systems. DLR aims to make their movement efficient, especially for space exploration, where battery use can determine whether a robot can complete a long mission.

Robots for hazardous work and daily support
DLR's Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics in Oberpfaffenhofen develops robots intended to help people work more safely and effectively. Applications described include exploration on Mars, laboratory assistance, household tasks, and potential future support for people with disabilities.

TORO and humanoid robot engineering
TORO stands for Torque-Controlled Humanoid Robot. It uses AI to assess its surroundings and can detect resistance, while training helps it maintain balance when pushed. Arti says humanoids such as TORO, Justin, and David require complex software involving torque sensors, local processors, and Cartesian impedance controllers.
