On Learning robust perceptive locomotion for quadrupedal robots in the wild

Very recommendable! Impressive work!

The robot went for a 2.2 km hill climbing hike in nature! 

"ANYmal completed the entire hike without any failure, stopping only to fix a detached shoe and swap batteries. The robot was able to reach the summit in 31 minutes, which is faster than the expected human hiking duration indicated in the official signage ... and finished the entire path in 78 minutes ...
