Cornell Biorobotics and locomotion research lab
The Cornell Ranger robot was built at Cornell University’s BioRobotics and Locomotion Lab, led by Andy Ruina, in Ithaca, New York. The lab’s work centers on legged robotics and locomotion research rather than commercial product lines, and Ranger is a bipedal robot designed to demonstrate efficient walking. Public sources identify the lab as part of Cornell University, not as a standalone robotics company.
