SpringWalker Exoskelton is a self-actuated spring-action human bipedal device that includes a back-mounted frame attached to the upper torso of a user, and separate articulated right and left leg frames pivotally attached by U-joints to lower portions of the back frame.[1][2] Drawing of SpringWalker. [1] The user’s feet are secured to the leg frames so…
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…
“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…
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…
