An explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) robot carrying a weighted crate up a small flight of stairs, as part of a NIST response robot capabilities test. A truly impressive display - the rope was just a safety line, it wasn't being used to pull the robot up the stairs, as far as I can tell. Taken at the 2017 ASTM International E54 conference.
