LittleDog, which is being developed at the University of Southern California as part of the DARPA robot movement initiative, can now chase you through rocky terrain, through crevices, and walk up stairs of different heights. We have eliminated the shortcomings that you could see in the early version of LittleDog.

This newest version of LittleDog is programmed in such a way that it can learn independently to be effective on any surface, it has the ability to evaluate the difference between a good support and a bad one and corrects its steps depending on the surface. Although the robot is getting smarter, we still cannot achieve smooth movements and ultra-precise surface recognition.
