• ETH Zurich study demonstrates autonomous sparse-structure traversal on PM01

  2026-08-30 - Research Publication - The PM01 completed the full monkey-bar sequence in 14 of 15 hardware trials across three bar configurations and reached brachiation speeds up to 0.5 m/s. A separately trained policy completed ten passes beneath randomly placed 2 cm wooden bars without contact, recovering to a stable stance after each crossing. The research configuration replaced PM01 hands with passive hooks and mounted a RoboSense E1R lidar; after one goal position was supplied, the traversal sequence ran autonomously.
