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.
BigDog is a dynamically stable quadruped military robot platform that was created in 2005 by Boston Dynamics with the Harvard University Concord Field Station. [1] It was funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), but the project was shelved after the BigDog's gas engine was deemed too loud for combat.
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.
Legged robots are a type of mobile robot which use articulated limbs, such as leg mechanisms, to provide locomotion. They are more versatile than wheeled robots and can traverse many different terrains, though these advantages require increased complexity and power consumption.
Other names for this concept include power or (high-tech) armor; powered, cybernetic, robot or robotic (armor) or suit; exo or (hard) suit; frame or augmented mobility. [ 2 ] ) The exoskeleton is designed to provide better mechanical load tolerance, and its control system aims to sense and synchronize with the user's intended motion and relay ...
On December 29, 2020, Boston Dynamics released a music video featuring two Atlas robots, a Spot robot, and a Handle robot performing a dance routine to the song "Do You Love Me". [16] On August 17, 2021, Boston Dynamics released a video of two Atlas robots running a parkour course with jumps, balance beams, and vaults. [17]
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 ...
