  • If the thought of a two-legged robot chasing you down in the streets keeps you up at night, then you can sleep easy … for now.
  • Cassie is the brainchild of Agility Robotics, a spin-off company from Oregon State University, and was introduced in 2017 as a type of developmental platform for robotics research.
  • For the Guinness World Record to stand, Cassie had to start in a standing pose, and then return to that pose after crossing the finish line rather than simply tumble over.
