  • For anyone who knows anything about the difficulty of making bipedal robots walk and balance, this really is pretty impressive.

  • you missed out by the end he was doing back flips

  • talking about walking with dinosaurs :p

    when they can run fast and jump then i want one

  • Oh and btw in case anyone is interested, check out the paper "Low Impedance Walking Robots" by G. A. Pratt.

  • This is actually a lot more exciting than it looks if you know what's going on haha. Very impressive work, though I would expect nothing less from the MIT leg lab. It moves a bit slow, but I imagine that is due to power constraints and the limits of the actuators. I've been reading a lot about Virtual Model Control over the last couple days and saw a picture of Troody in one of the papers so I thought I would look it up and see how well it could walk.

  • this is really impressive!!! I am doing a humanoid robot and have to learn about the dinosaur, as I would like to request whether can I get the photo of this design. Very much appreciated.

  • Holy cow that might as well be a real Troodon. ;)

  • Well, probably not as fast as the organic livings, but we do have pretty fast sensors. Look for this title on youtube: BigDog - Boston Dynamics (2008)

    You'll be suprised, well, I was when I first saw it. =)

  • the only thing keeping bipedal robots to walk and run really fast is that we don't have super-fast and extremely aware balance sensors like organic lifeforms have. Robots also needs adaptive balance. For example; Seen the dog that lost two of it's legs on it's right side? it still can run really fast and stand right up.

  • you are from IRELAND...and you wrote "we'll" instead of "will"???dude...weak...

  • When I see things like this it makes me wish for a aibo-like little t-rex or something was created for sale. "Pleo" is cute and all, but I want a little snapping little toothy carnivorous type critter. I have a roboreptile, though a good idea, I wished it was more like Troody here (fully bipedal) and smart like Aibo.

    *dreams*

  • Asimo is based on humans, which we happen to know alot about, troody is based on a dinosaur, which we know next to nothing about relatively speaking.

    Next time, try and remember that different projects are done for different reasons.
