First of all, the Leg Lab actually started at Carnegie Mellon. I was a professor there starting in 1980, about 1986. And so that's where the first hopping machines were built. I guess we got the first one working in about 1982, something like that. That was a simplified one. Then we got a three-dimensional one in 1983.

The quadruped that we built at the Leg Lab, the first version, was built in about 1984 or 5 and really only got going about 86 or so. It took years of development to get it to work.

Well, I'm going to start on the, not the technical side, but the, I guess we could call it the motivational side or the funding side. So before Carnegie Mellon, I was actually at JPL, at the Jet Propulsion Lab for three years.

And while I was there, I connected up with Ivan Sutherland, who is sometimes regarded as the father of computer graphics because of work he did both at MIT and then University of Utah and Evans and Sutherland.

Anyway, um, I got to know him and at one point he said, uh, he encouraged me to, uh, do some kind of project, uh, at Caltech, even though I was at JPL, you know, those are kind of related institutions. And, uh, So I thought about it, and I made up a list of three possible projects. And I purposely made the top one and the bottom one really boring sounding.

And in the middle, I put Pogo Stick Robot. When he looked at it, Ivan is a brilliant guy, brilliant engineer, and a real cultivator of people. He looked at it and knew right away what the thing that was worth doing. He had an endowed chair, so he had about $3,000 that he gave me to build the first model for
