有一个事实：双足机器人的稳定性问题单靠算法是搞不定的！！！
在2015 DARPA 机器人挑战赛中，许多参赛团队的机器人使用了Atlas，他们通过安装他们自己的软件并修改来让机器人保持平衡。来自WPI-CMU的阿特拉斯机器人Warner是诸多Atlas中唯一一个没有摔倒或需要重启的机器人。在决赛的两次尝试中，他们都成功走到最后，拿下八分中的七分。这样优异表现的背后，是CMU机器人学院Christopher Atkeson教授组对稳定步态的研究成果，尤其是组里博士生冯思远的工作，冯思远在3D行走方面的论文曾在13年的仿人机器人国际会议Humanoids上获得过大会最佳论文（Best
Paper）的荣誉。
Christopher G. Atkeson 的经典论文： 《Modeling, stabilit yand control of biped robots—a general framework》
《连线》记者Nick Stockton也表示了同样的「担忧」，他说，我发誓 Atlas迟早会颠覆现状，而下一件事就是末日审判。加州大学伯克利分校机器人学教授Ken Goldberg也说：「这肯定会引发『恐怖谷』效应，当它被欺负的时候，我们大多数人都会认为它会反击，然后用一束激光消灭了那些欺负它的人。」
所以，还是那句话：你就不要欺负他好了！
最终指引到了那个方向：玛格丽特 的 正派社会.
