RUBI: Robust walking and Underwater capable BIpedal robot
Embedded Files
RUBI is a waterproof bipedal robot developed to extend its operating range into water-exposed environments.
It achieves IP68-level waterproofing by sealing its actuators and electronic modules.
It is controlled by a reinforcement-learning based locomotion policy to operate robustly across changes in terrain and environmental conditions.

To expand the robot's operation to water-exposed environments, experiments were conducted under both spray and submersion conditions. These tests verified the robot's waterproof design performance and the stability and robustness of the control algorithm.

RUBI's point-foot structure makes it structurally disadvantageous for stable self-sufficiency while stationary. Nevertheless, we implemented an algorithm that learns stand-up motion through reinforcement learning and enables the transition to walking after independence.
