Running Robot (Full Length)

This is the full length version of a movie of a robot that is truly walking and running. Most walking robots today don't really walk like you and I do. They have complex and power-hungry gyros to keep them in a state of constant balance even when moving from one leg to another. This version walks more like a person: in other words, it "falls" forward with one leg, and then catches itself with the other leg. This is much less expensive in terms of construction costs and power, and could eventually lead to faster and more realistic android-type robots.

There is a guiding arm in this particular demonstration, but it is only to direct the robot around in a circle and not to keep it upright.

Reminds me of something that should have been in WALL-E.

But, do you know how hard it is to make a biped robot, let alone one that DOESNT shuffle about on the floor?

Good job.

Haters gonna hate.

That's all I can think of when I see this.

@mastershake9801 ROFLMAO!

@VRagusila Thank you for the clarifications! My friend is paraplegic and has to use a wheelchair. Can something like this be used to enable him to walk again? Kinda like a strap on "exoskeleton"?

Where can I find the schematics and code for this amazing walker?

That's amazing! COngratulations!!! That is a huge accomplishment.
