The General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Laboratory is an interdisciplinary academic and research center within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. Founded in 1979, the GRASP Lab is a premier robotics incubator that fosters collaboration between students, research staff and faculty focusing on fundamental research in vision, perception, control systems, automation, and machine learning.
seem to be the better solution for difficult terrains cheaper and better autonomy of all legged solution and far more efficient than tracks with a lowest speed sole requierement finding the good bldc motor
Not really! A physically intelligent system is wise about controlling its mechanical impedance (think how springy and energy-dampy my system needs to be) to match the scenario (mostly collision-related) it is faced with. Hence, there is no correct way! There is an old way that works well with application-specific machines in controlled environments like rigid robots in a factory setting. Some of the newer explorative, mapping and outdoor applications need robots to be more collision adaptive, hence the robotics paradigm shift.
This is amazing! I'm starting to look into robotics and ai, and this is a great foundation! (Note to self, 45:59 is when the software part is mentioned)
♥.♥ Thanks. I think the idea for this type of wheel may have originally been related to that Soviet-designed tank called the "Soviet TPP-2 Jumping Tank".
I can't wait to see that in robot combat. Like Battle bots, Robot Wars and/or Robo Games. Heh I laughed when it slid down those stairs. Adored it when it was pronking and tracking that ball.
Not to be an ass but I'm building far more complex robots at my house, with a current income of $0. I wouldn't be surprised if i could get a militarily contract of well over a few million if these guys can get million dollar militarily contracts. Haha remember my name so when I'm a world leader you can say I remember him when he was just getting out there. :)
Cute! He looks like a little dog or something :D Now imagine it with big sharp teeth and it's chasing you.. in an abandoned building.. at night.. when you're alone.
Pretty cool! Now, this wouldn't improve the science & engineering behind this project, but have you considered tiny Dalek-shaped shells for these things? ;)
