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 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.
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]
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.
"The intention is not to start from the beginning and say, ‘Hey, we’re trying to make a robot look like a person,’" said Jonathan Hurst, co-founder and chief robot officer at Agility Robotics.
Assume The Robot Is A Sphere, better known by the acronym ATRIAS, is a bipedal robot developed by researchers at Oregon State University's Dynamic Robotics Laboratory. It is capable of walking on two legs at about 3 miles per hour with the assistance of multiple people to ensure it remains upright.
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.
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 .
