Engineers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University created a six-legged skiing robot that is controlled by human-computer interaction for the Winter Olympics.

Not only can it ski at great speeds, but it can also plan the best path on its own. It can walk around skiers in a genuine skiing area using wireless remote human-computer interface control, allowing skiers to experience the fun of skiing alongside the robot.

In addition, the robot may patrol and rescue skiers in the mountains, assisting in maintaining a safe skiing environment.
