The TALON robot is a small tracked military system, designed by the Foster-Miller company (USA) for wide range of missions (from reconnaissance to combat). It can move through sand, water, and snow as well as climb stairs. The robot weighs less than 45 kg (or 27 kg for the Reconnaissance version). Its cargo bay accommodates…
Since 1990 Theo Jansen, Dutch artist and kinetic sculptor, builds huge structures that resemble skeletons of animals which are able to move under the influence of wind on the sandy beaches.[1][2][3] These structures are known as Strandbeest (Dutch: strand = beach; beest = beast), wind-walking examples of artificial life. Jansen calls them “animals” or “creatures”.[2][3]…
“Crusher” is an autonomous off-road Unmanned Ground Combat System developed by researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University’s National Robotics Engineering Center for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), USA.[1][2][3] Crusher. [4] The robot can travel over rough terrain, such as vertical walls more than 1.2 m high, wooded slopes, and rocky creekbeds. The “Crusher” has…
HAL (the Hybrid Assistive Limb) is a powered exoskeleton suit currently in development by Tsukuba University in Japan. There are currently two prototypes: HAL-3 (restoring of the leg function) and HAL-5 (a full-body exoskeleton for the arms, legs, and torso). HAL-5 is currently capable of allowing the operator to lift and carry about five times…
