Ghost Robotics, makers of a family of four-legged robots called Q-UGVs, has made dog-like robots for the military for a few years. These robots have been seen everywhere from trade show floors in Detroit to guarding an Air Force base in Florida. But at the Association of the United States Army’s 2021 annual conference, held…
Researchers at Caltech have built a bipedal robot that combines walking with flying to create a new type of locomotion, making it exceptionally nimble and capable of complex movements. Part walking robot, part flying drone, the newly developed LEONARDO (short for LEgs ONboARD drOne, or LEO for short) can walk a slackline, hop, and even…
‘Factory Safety Service Robot’ based on Boston Dynamic’s quadruped, Spot®, to go into pilot operation at Kia’s plant in South Korea in support of site safety. Factory Safety Service Robot’s AI, autonomous navigation, and teleoperation technologies enable office personnel to observe and survey industrial areas remotely. The Group, in cooperation with Boston Dynamics, is developing…
Atlas is a bipedal humanoid robot primarily developed by the American robotics company Boston Dynamics, with funding and oversight from the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This robot is designed for a variety of search and rescue tasks, and was unveiled to the public on July 11, 2013.[1] Front view of the…
ASIMO (which is an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative MObility) is an android created by Honda, Japanese public multinational company. This robot was created to be a helper to people. ASIMO was designed to operate in real-world environments, with the ability to walk or run on two feet.[1-6] ASIMO, model of 2005. [11] 1…
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]…
The Adaptive Suspension Vehicle (ASV) is a six-legged robotic system designed for sustained locomotion on unstructured terrain. The ASV project was initiated in January 1981 under the lead of Kenneth McGhee along with Robert Waldron at the Ohio State University (OSU), USA. The machine took its first steps in December 1985. The first outdoor tests…
“Moon Walker” is the eight-legged walking chair, designed by space engineers to aid children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Moon Walker walking chair. [1] The vehicle, was originally designed as a means of transportation on the lunar surface, suddenly became suitable for another purpose. Children, who have lost ability of the free motion due…
Six-legged walking harvester “Plusjack” was developed in 1999 by the “Plustech” Finnish company (the advanced research and development unit of “Timberjack”, now a “John Deere” company).[1][7] Plusjack Walking harvester. [5] Harvester has been designed to navigate the difficult terrain (e.g. steep slopes), with the implementation of the principle of applying the minimum damage to…
In 1965 at the University of Southern California R. McGhee and A. Frank constructed four-legged walking machine, known as «The Californian Horse» or «Phony Pony». This device was equipped by electrical motors, it had two degrees of freedom in each leg (thigh and knee) and one adaptive degree of freedom in the frontal plane.[1] The…
