Our review "Advances, challenges, and opportunities for legged robots" is now out. We discuss technical challenges but also societal issues when deploying quadrupeds and humanoids in the real-world. Science Robotics: www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2607.28952
Advances, challenges, and opportunities for legged robots
This Review surveys the current state, key challenges, and emerging directions in the development of legged robots.

I'm slowly moving to this side of the internet so I'll share my latest paper here! We report the discovery of one of the closest exoplanets to us! ✨Gl 725 A b✨ is potentially a super-Earth orbiting the primary component of a M dwarf binary system at only 3.5 pc. arxiv.org/abs/2411.09506
Gl 725A b: a potential super-Earth detected with SOPHIE and SPIRou in an M dwarf binary system at 3.5 pc
We report the discovery of a super-Earth candidate orbiting the nearby mid M dwarf Gl\,725A using the radial velocity (RV) method. The planetary signal has been independently identified using high-pre...
