Giger - Progress Video

Walking gait is still a bit spotty, very much so a work in progress. These type of things take a long time to dial in and I'm only working on this in my spare time. I'm also demonstrating the abil...

Nice robot. It has good balance and I'm digging the Cylon-esque head. It's so refreshing to see a video in the science & technology section that is not about some stupid mobile phone.

are you using suction cups under the feet to keep balance? is that what the popping sound is when he lifts a foot?

Has anyone realized that humans fall into walking or running as our brain moves our limbs to compensate with balance? Why does it always seem that robots move there limbs to push or pull them forward primarily instead of falling in a forward motion and using their limbs to stay balanced over any terrain?

You bring up an excellent point, and the more advanced humanoid research is trying to advance exactly that. To replicate a human like walking gait in a machine is incredibly difficult, check into ZMP or Zero Moment Point research, which addresses this.

In contrast, what you see here is only about 10 hours of work into programming the walking gait, and without any IMU balance integration. This was a 'work in progress' video I didn't expect to get posted on Engadget... LOL
