This leaping robotic bike somehow lacks a stabilization system.

After demonstrating the benefits of reinforcement learning with a faster version of Boston Dynamics’ Spot, the Robotics and AI Institute has shared a video of an impressive robotic bike that can balance and jump without a dedicated stabilization system.

The two-wheeled bot manages to balance by controlling its speed and steering, while electronics on an articulated arm can quickly extend upwards to make the robot leap up onto a table with ease.
