The robot uses quadrotor to enhance maneuverability, enabling a richer physical expression. In addition, motions of the legs are automatically generated according to the motion of the quadrotor using a method that generates the robot's foot trajectory automatically that realize the appearance of bipedal walking according to the body movement.

The velocity of the quadrotor is estimated by the motion capture data, and the input of the servomotors of each joint is generated using the optimized control policy. &nbsp;</p>
