Autonomous walking robot (AMOS-WD06) under neural control

The AMOS-WD06 (Advanced Mobility Sensor Driven-Walking Device) is the reactive 6-legged walking machine which mimics the structures of walking animals. This walking
machine driven by modular neural control can autonomously perform reactive behaviors, e.g. wandering around, avoiding obstacles, escaping from deadlock situations or
corners, reflex action (standing in an upside-down position) and escape behavior (run away from a stiking predator). It can serve as a hardware platform for experiments concerning the function of a neural perception-action system.

is that a wii remote

[AMOSWD06]

No, there is no remote control. Instead, it is purely autonomous. All behaviors are driven via sensor signals.

Amazing stuff dude!! How long did it take to build this robo?

[AMOSWD06]

almost, 4 years including the development of the neural controller but still go on

[jrmyrook]

wow thats truely amazing. Very nice. I'm curious though.... Was that pneumatics? and how big/long were the batteries and or battery life?

[AMOSWD06]

Thank you very much for your comment. It was built by servo motors and powered by a new battery system (Lipo battery) lasting for about 40 mins.

it has only to neurons, right?

[SkatingSy]

Be carefull that you don't created a terminator.

Jk, awesome robot!

nice job man

Proud of you, mate!
