Storror was established in 2010 by seven parkour athletes from Horsham (West Sussex), and Peacehaven (East Sussex) who met as teenagers. [3] [4] The team started with the Cave brothers and Drew Taylor, who were inspired by Jump London (2003) and Jump Britain (2005) documentaries.
The Legged Squad Support System (LS3) was a DARPA project for a legged robot which could function autonomously as a packhorse for a squad of soldiers or marines. Like BigDog , its quadruped predecessor, the LS3 was ruggedized for military use, with the ability to operate in hot, cold, wet, and dirty environments.
The Cheetah is a four-footed robot that gallops at 28 miles per hour (45 km/h; 13 m/s), which as of August 2012 is a land speed record for legged robots. [21] A similar but independently developed robot also known as Cheetah is made by MIT's Biomimetic Robotics Lab, [22] which, by 2014, could jump over obstacles while running.
Legged robots, or walking machines, are designed for locomotion on rough terrain and require control of leg actuators to maintain balance, sensors to determine foot placement and planning algorithms to determine the direction and speed of movement. [3] [4] The periodic contact of the legs of the robot with the ground is called the gait of the ...
A six-legged walking robot should not be confused with a Stewart platform, a kind of parallel manipulator used in robotics applications. Beetle hexapod. A hexapod robot is a mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs. Since a robot can be statically stable on three or more legs, a hexapod robot has a great deal of flexibility in how it can move.
It is a 4-legged robot that somewhat resembles a spider and a dog. Also designed by Mark Tilden , the Roboquad, like other WowWee robots, has multiple personalities , awareness of its surroundings, some autonomous behaviour and can be controlled via a remote .
World Chase Tag is an international championship for competitive parkour involving the game of tag. Events have been televised on NBCSN in the United States, [1] and on Channel 4, ITV and BBC Three in the United Kingdom. [2] [3] [4] Events have also attracted millions of views online. [2]
LAURON is a six-legged walking robot, which is being developed at the FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik in Germany. [1] [2] The mechanics and the movements of the robot are biologically-inspired, mimicking the stick insect Carausius Morosus. The development of the LAURON walking robot started with basic research in field of six-legged locomotion ...
