Posted on September 22, 2016

Ghost Robotics has announced its Ghost Minotaur robot. The small four legged robot can climb stairs, climb fences and open doors. The robot features high-torque brushless outrunner motors and specialized leg design.

Ghost Robotics says the Minotaur also has "high-speed and high-resolution encoders" that enable the robot to see the ground and adapt "faster than the blink of an eye." It has a running speed of 2.0m/s. Some of its movements include bounding, pronking, walking, and trotting.

Engadget reports that the robot could cost under $1,500 when it is released. The robot looks very agile as it bounds and hops its way over different types of terrain and obstacles. Take a look:
