Cornell Ranger Robot Breaks Record for Walking
Loading...
Uploaded by ClaWhe on Feb 1, 2010
The Cornell Ranger robot just kept going and going April 3, 2008, when it set an unofficial world record by walking nonstop for 45 laps -- a little over 9 kilometers or 5.6 miles -- around the Barton Hall running track. The celebration begins on lap 20 (2.1 km), as the Cornell Ranger breaks the distance record for a walking robot. Accompanying the Ranger were engineering graduate students Andrey Turovsky and Greg Stiesberg; Jason Cortell, manager of the Biorobotics and Locomotion Lab; and Bram Hendriksen, a visiting graduate student from the Netherlands. Developed by a team of students working with Andy Ruina, Cornell professor of theoretical and applied mechanics, the robot walked (and walked) until it finally stopped and fell backward, perhaps because its battery ran down. The event was to show off the machine's energy efficiency. Unlike other walking robots that use motors to control every movement, the Ranger emulates human walking, using gravity to help swing its legs forward. The goal of the research, Ruina said, is not only to advance robotics but also to learn more about the mechanics of walking. The information could be applied to rehabilitation and prosthetics for humans and even to improving athletic performance.

@theDunedan I agree - the lap-count graphics are highly irritating.

Thanks for the video, but I have a minor complaint. Your lap-count graphics obscure the foot-motion, which is one of the most interesting visual aspects of the video. May I suggest that in future videos some of the footage zooms in on the feet and that care is taken not to cover it with graphics?

I have the information to lead humanoid robot technology and intelligent systems for the Next 30 years if someone is interested let me know...

Hi. Aprox by the year 2020 a laptop will reach the human brain potential for processing data which means that there is a huge market waiting for hundreds of billions dollars to be sold or invested in humanoid robots and intelligent systems. It is the beginning of the bigger industry in human history. Search on Google luisbeck007 you will find the most complete humanoid robot list in the World, good information and interesting issues.
