In this video, LOLA reacts to undetected ground height changes, including a drop and leg-in-hole experiment. Further tests show the robustness to vertical disturbances using a seesaw. The robot is technically blind, not using any camera-based or prior information on the terrain.

Technical Details:
Walking speed: 0.5 m/s
Height of the board: 6.7cm
Ground height change leg-in-hole: 6cm
Negative ground height change platform: 9cm
