Quadruped robot uses satellite tools to walk along a balance beam

While quadruped robots may surpass their wheeled counterparts at traversing rough terrain, they still aren’t able to maintain their balance when moving along narrow ridges. That could change, though, as scientists have devised a method of allowing them… Continue reading Quadruped robot uses satellite tools to walk along a balance beam

MARVEL quadruped robot uses magnetic feet to walk up metal walls

Many people are already creeped out by quadruped robots, which walk on four legs instead of rolling on wheels or tracks. Well, the MARVEL robot likely won’t do much to change such feelings, as it can walk straight up ferromagnetic metal walls.Continue … Continue reading MARVEL quadruped robot uses magnetic feet to walk up metal walls

Mini Pupper 2 makes a bid to be your new hackable robo-dog pal

Last year, Hong Kong’s MangDang gave programmers the chance to own a small hackable four-legged robot named the Mini Pupper, a kind of baby Spot. Now the team has returned to Kickstarter with a much-improved second generation robo-dog.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Mini Pupper 2 makes a bid to be your new hackable robo-dog pal

Aftermarket NAUT module lets Vision 60 quadruped robot swim

Ghost Robotics’ Vision 60 quadruped robot is already quite a versatile beast, capable of walking, running and even carrying a gun. Now, thanks to a third-party attachment, it can also “swim” through the water.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, Technol… Continue reading Aftermarket NAUT module lets Vision 60 quadruped robot swim

Robotic rat may one day search for survivors at disaster sites

While scientists have already created tight-space-exploring robots based on snakes and cockroaches, rats are also highly adept at squeezing through narrow openings and traversing uneven terrain. They now have a robotic equivalent of their own, in the f… Continue reading Robotic rat may one day search for survivors at disaster sites
