First Dynamically Balancing Biped Robot

Posted by kdawson on from the mister-rossum-on-line-1 dept.

damg writes "Anybots, which is three guys led by Trevor Blackwell, has developed the first robot that walks like we do, by dynamically balancing itself rather than being pre-programmed for walking like Asimo. The video shows the robot walking and being pushed by another 'bully' robot to demonstrate that it can't easily be pushed over."

  1. It's the FIRST walking robot by Profane+MuthaFucka · · Score: 1, Troll

    Except for all the other first walking robots that came before it. Oops.

    Check out this video:

    It's an MIT robot doing something more than the white-boy shuffle in a lab. It's running across a grass lawn at a pretty good speed.

    This shuffle-bot looks like it'd make me a nice cup holder, and that's about it.
