A Chinese research team develops a unique running posture for a 4 -leg robot to help it move faster than similar machines.
Researchers develop a 4 -leg robot that can run faster than the world’s fastest. Robot named Black Newspaper 2.0 is a cooperation project of the research team at Mirror Me startup and interdisciplinary mechanical center at Zhejiang University, China, Live Science On 1/2 reported.
The robot weighs 38 kg and 0.63 m high, can run 100 m in less than 10 seconds. In the video, the robot development group said it reached a speed of 10.4 m/sec, nearly nearly equal to the speed of 10.44 m/s that athlete Usain Bolt achieved at the World Athletics Championship in 2009.
To achieve this speed, the researchers equipped the flexible joint robot like the knee at 4 legs and add the carbon fiber structure to maintain the solid level under the pressure from the weight of the robot when moving at the speed. maximum. According to Xinhua, black panther 2.0 uses artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning, to adjust the motion according to the environment.
The purpose of using black alarm robot 2.0 has not been revealed. Other 4 -legged robots like Deep Robotics Lynx aims to security and toxic environmental surveys, but its maximum speed is only 4.9 m/second, less than half of the speed of black leopard 2.0 . In 2012, Boston Dynamics Company reached 12.6 m/sec with hunting robots. However, this is a bigger and heavier device and has not been on the market.
