No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The first video in IRIM's new vintage robotics research collection features the Leg Lab, established at CMU by Marc Raibert and later moved to MIT. The Leg Lab developed robots that ran and maneuvered like animals and formed the basis for the company Boston Dynamics, which was founded by Raibert in 1992. The video shows some of the early examples of legged robots from monopods to quadropeds.
