Scientists have created a four-legged bio-inspired robot that climbs like no other. It clings to rough vertical surfaces utilizing a unique mechanism that is highly effective, yet at the same time relatively simple.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, T… Continue reading Clever rock-climbing robot channels its inner insect (and marsupial)
You might think that having four legs with wheels on the ends would already make a robot pretty useful. China’s LimX Dynamics is taking things further, however, as its W1 quadruped robot is now able to stand up and walk on two “feet.”Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Video: Robo erectus – W1 quadruped robot evolves to stand and walk upright
A robo-dog capable of throwing 30-ft flames from its back might seem the stuff of sci-fi nightmares, but such terrors were made real last year with the launch of the Thermonator from Ohio’s Throwflame. Now the fire-breathing quadruped is available to b… Continue reading Flame-throwing robo-dog can now be yours for under $10k
The latent potential for personal robotics became very real for me while I was strolling the halls of the 45th Bangkok International Motor Show this week. There are always good ideas at motor shows, except the good ideas at motor shows in developing re… Continue reading Ride-on Unicorn could be the “killer app” for kids
