Runing robot

[kyleslazyboy]

I just thought i would share this with everyone 

a robot that can simulate a running human and be controlled and can reach speeds up to 40+- MPH

Have these guys heard about the wheel? It's much better.

[JAKEBAB]

This is cool but i don't understand the point at all

[Kilerbomb]

So they took the wheel, and made it needlessly complex?... I'm not seeing the point here.

May not mean anything currently, but the future advancement of this could be significant.

Interesting, but I think some of the Boston Dynamics stuff is more impressive. They're not as fast, I think their cheetah runs ~28mph. But they're using legs, rather than leg-like things mounted as a wheel.

Here's my personal favorite, the sandflea:

I would like to know why that sand flea doesnt have rubber wheels..

It does, but they're structurally compressible rather than inflatable (that way they won't pop or puncture).

You can hear the softness of their bouncing in the video, the loud noise when it jumped off the building was from it bottoming out because of the height.

Awesome post. thanks man

reinventing the wheel these guys are dumb,good at robotics and coding but ideas omg...

The point is the legs are not touching the ground at the same time. It's balancing on 1 side for a while.

Still, Asimo can run with just 2 legs, and probably balance a glass of beer at the same time

Difference between wheel and these legs is that legs work on almost all kind of land.

Large treaded tires and cat tractor/tank things beg to differ.

Well one day if we want android bodies we have to do something like this...
