It is a treadmill that is mounted to a 6 DOF movable platform. It also has a motion capture system, video cameras, and a surround sound system. This treadmill is designed for gait and balance training for humans, which also makes it ideal for training bipedal robots.

Cassie Robot Walking on the CAREN Treadmill
As the above video shows, Cassie can maintain its balance while walking on the treadmill. It makes adjustments to its gait as the platform moves. Even when the platform moves abruptly or sways left to right, Cassie maintains its balance. CAREN can collect more data in less time to allow for further research and training.
