The researchers at the Dynamic Robotics Lab at Oregon State University (OSU) hilariously dressed up their incredible two-legged ostrich-inspired agility robot Cassie as an AT-ST Walker (All Terrain Scout Transport Walker) from Star Wars for Halloween 2018. It was the perfect costume for a bipedal robot without a face.
