When it comes to locomotion, robots don’t typically do more than one thing at a time. Walkers stick to walking, and rollers stick to rolling. However, this simple method of enabling a cheetah ...

Walking on two legs is hard for robots, but you can make the job easier by reducing gravity. How do you do that? Well, the Aerial-Bipedal robot from the University of Tokyo has a quadcopter for a ...

Getting a robot to balance and walk on two feet is a massive challenge, as the DARPA Challenge revealed. But it turns out it’s a little less tricky when you focus on just the legs, as the ...

While it took nature billions of years to evolve the first walking species, the new algorithm compressed evolution to lightning speed — designing a successfully walking robot in mere seconds. But the ...

The project started with a simple observation — walking robots are constrained by having to hold themselves up — and removing that constraint make success much easier.

Atlas, Boston Dynamics’ dancing humanoid, can now use a single model for walking and grasping—a significant step toward ...

A maximum reduced walking robot runs at a speed of 0.8 km/h. This does not require a lot of mechanics.

The platform enables non-experts to specify a robot’s operational and structural parameters using simple descriptive input.
