Google research makes for an effortless robotic dog trot

As capable as robots are, the original animals after which they tend to be designed are all the time so much, much better. That is partially because of it's tricky to discover ways to walk like a dog right away from a dog — on the other hand this research from Google's AI labs make it considerably easier.
