Excited to share our paper “MOBIUS: A Multi-Modal Bipedal Robot that can Walk, Crawl, Climb, and Roll” has been accepted to RSS 2026 in Sydney!

MOBIUS opens many research directions in loco-manipulation, force control, and multi-modal optimization.

@LouisLeLay4 Thank you Louis! Really appreciate it ☺️

[Alexander Schperberg @ASchperberg]

Our paper was accepted to #ICRA, and I get to visit my home country of Austria! Looking forward to sharing the paper once we make it available next month, it’s on Safe Whole-Body Force Control for Loco-Manipulation ☺️.

[Alexander Schperberg @ASchperberg]

@LouisLeLay4 Wow that’s amazing!! 👏 congratulation!

The table-to-dishwasher task is the classic nightmare scenario for roboticists:

Long-horizon, highly dexterous, precise, whole-body manipulation combined with delicate, transparent, reflective, and deformable objects.

Yet Memo handles it so naturally and elegantly.

Wrapped up my IROS 2025 presentation! Thanks to those that joined, and if you missed it and are interested in legged locomotion, see paper here: https://t.co/2fF4p0Jk12

Grippers are one of the most intricate parts of a humanoid robot: packed with actuation and sensing, durable enough to handle tough jobs and precise enough to handle fragile items. Our engineers share the Atlas gripper's evolution and design principles.

[Alexander Schperberg @ASchperberg]

Excited to share our next work from @merl_news, Energy-Efficient Motion Planner for Legged Robots, accepted to @IROS2025! See https://t.co/2fF4p0Jk12 and https://t.co/F9NAf6HZUu. Looking forward to seeing you in Hangzhou, China (October 19-25)!
