It gets knocked down, but it gets up again.
A team of Swiss researchers have trained a robot dog to be able to fight off repeated kicks from a human.
No matter how many times the robot, called the 'ANYmal,' gets kicked, it's able to roll over onto its back and stand back up again.

A team of Swiss researchers have trained a robot dog to be able to fight off repeated kicks from a human. No matter how many times the 'ANYmal' gets kicked, it stands back up again
The researchers' findings were laid out in a new paper published Wednesday in Science Robotics.
Scientists from Switzerland's ETH Zurich University trained the robot using artificial intelligence, which enables it to move and respond faster than ever before.
So fast, they say, that it was able to beat the previous speed record by 25 percent.
According to researchers, this is not an easy thing to do.
'Legged robots pose one of the greatest challenges in robotics,' the study notes.
'Dynamic and agile maneuvers of animals cannot be imitated by existing methods that are crafted by humans.'
Typically, researchers rely on simulations, which are 'cheap and safe,' but cannot 'accurately capture the dynamics of complex robots,' they explained.
Anymal the robot dog was developed by Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich University in Switzerland and has been shown in several videos running, crawling and walking
Instead, scientists developed a neural network system from which the robot would be able to quickly learn and adapt.
'Using policies trained in simulation, the quadrupedal machine achieves locomotion skills that go beyond what had been achieved with prior methods: ANYmal is capable of precisely and energy-efficiently following high-level body velocity commands, running faster than before, and recovering from falling even in complex configurations,' the study continues.
It also uses a relatively new method called reinforcement learning, where the robot basically learns through trial and error, completing a series of tasks over and over until it gets it right.
A video posted by ETH Zurich shows one of the researchers kicking the robot several times, in some cases pretty forcefully.
Scientists from Switzerland's ETH Zurich University trained the ANYmal robot using artificial intelligence, which enables it to move and respond faster than ever before
The robot is trained with AI that makes it so that it can respond 'faster than ever before.' Researchers also created a 'roll-over motion' where the robot is able to recover from a fall
At several points throughout the video, the robot's limbs are so quick to adjust that it doesn't even fall over.
If it does tip over, the scientists said they created a 'roll-over motion' where the robot dog is able to recover from a fall.
The scientists say this 'roll-over' method has never been observed in a similar four-legged robot like ANYmal until now.
With the ability to survive a fall, it means that four-legged robots could be even more useful to humans in the future.
'Legged robots may one day rescue people in forests and mountains, climb stairs to carry payloads in construction sites, inspect unstructured underground tunnels, and explore other planets,' the study notes.
'Legged systems have the potential to perform any physical activity humans and animals are capable of.'
Researchers also use a method called reinforcement learning, where the robot basically learns through trial and error, completing a series of tasks over and over until it gets it right
Anymal's limbs allow it to move at a pace that's comparable to that of a human and it can carry a payload of up to 22lbs. Its creators believe it could be used in first response situations
This isn't the first time we've seen ANYmal in action.
ANYbotics, the commercial version of ETH Zurich's robotics unit, trotted the four-legged robot dog out on the show floor at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month.
There, as part of a partnership with tiremaker Continental, the companies demonstrated how ANYmal could soon be able to deliver packages to consumers' doorsteps.
A robot dog was able to jump out of a concept van, clamber over a garden in front of a model home and make its way up a set of stairs to the door.
From there, it slides the package off its back and onto the front porch, before ringing the fake doorbell with one of its arms.
After delivering the package, it was even able to do a little dance.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
