The video shows a simulated bipedal robot in the process of learning a foot placement controller. The robot is subjected to strong pushes from the back that force the robot to step forward in order to prevent a fall. At first, the robot falls forward, but it learns from the failed attempts to recover its balance. Already at the third push, the robot is able to absorb the push and to return to a stable walk in place without falling.
