The Real Robotics Lab at University of Leeds has released footage of two quadruped robots remotely controlled by a single operator to make a burger as a team. As seen in the video (above), the operator uses a gamepad to control their walking and a wearable motion capture system for manipulation control of the robotic arms mounted on the legged robots.
