Walking bipedal robots excel at tasks such as traversing uneven terrain, but because they're so mechanically complex, they can't be made very small. That could soon change, however, thanks to the ...

Researchers from Caltech have built a new bipedal robot that leverages a new type of locomotion, making it nimble and capable of completing complex movements. The robot is called LEONARDO, which ...

Assistant Professor Dr. Aaron Ames at the A&M Bipedal Experimental Robotics Lab (AMBER) heads a team of students in the design, simulation, and fabrication of a robot that will walk like a human. The ...

When Engineering professor Jessy Grizzle first began the MABEL project in 2004, his intention was to use the bipedal robot as a platform to evaluate methods to achieve a dynamic sense of balance in ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Caltech have built a bipedal robot that combines walking with flying to create a new type of locomotion, making it exceptionally nimble and capable of complex movements.

The feasible planar regions are used for footstep planning, preventing the body from hitting obstacles, and the heightmap is used to calculate foot trajectory to avoid foot collision during the swing ...

We first heard about the child-like iCub humanoid robot back in 2011, when it was nominated to take part in the Olympic Torch Relay. The latest and greatest version, the iCub 3, was the star of a ...

New technical paper titled “Efficient and Accurate CORDIC Pipelined Architecture Chip Design Based on Binomial Approximation for Biped Robot,” from researchers at Chung Yuan Christian University ...

BMW has signed a first-of-its-kind deal to put “humanoid” robots to work at one of its factories. The robots, which are designed to be more operationally flexible than traditional industrial robots, ...
