  Watch some of the highlights of ANYmal at the ARGOS Challenge
  (<a href=http://www.argos-challenge.com/en>http://www.argos-challenge.com/en</a>). ANYmal is a fully autonomous
  quadrupedal
  robot, capable of traversing on various terrain including steps, obstacles,
  stairs etc. Ruggedized and water-proof, ANYmal is well suited for applications
  in harsh environments such as offshore oil and gas platforms.
