RAI Institute is behind Ultra Mobile Vehicle and other robotics project that broke the internet. The Roadrunner is their latest project that is going viral. It is a bipedal wheeled robot that can switch between side by side and in-line wheel modes. It can point its knees forward and backward to handle specific movements or avoid obstacles. As you can see in this video, this robot can use its wheeled legs to go up and down the stairs. It can even maintain its balance on one leg.
