Swinging Robot Entertains

Published on 03/19/2008

There is something mesmerizing about watching a primate swing its way across limbs of trees with relative ease, as though they have some sort of spider sense. This robot has been programmed to do the same, although it might not be too suitable for the harsh jungle environment due to its weight. It is, however, able to keep itself in motion simply by moving its whole body. No idea on what algorithm is used to ferry it around, but it is still nice to see a more agile robot around compared to the slowpoke Asimo from Honda.
