Bipedal Robot Based On Troodon Dinosaur
Posted on Dec 1, 08 09:20 AM PDT
Peter Dilworth from MIT's Leg Lab has constructed this mean-looking bipedal walking robot that is based on a Troodon dinosaur, with the following objective.
It was for the robot to stand up from a sitting position, to walk and possibly run, go back to walking and stop and then sit down and be stable, and not fall over in any phase. It has proven extremely difficult to make bipedal robots. People assume that flight is hard to do while walking is easy; actually it's the reverse.
Well, looks like this robot has a long way to go before it catches up with Honda's Asimo.
