Running robots one ‘small step’ closer to reality



In Melbourne, Sep'5. Swiss researcher says, " They have made a robote to run like human". How can they make robots that can run effectively as human do? They anwered the hotest question about that, "This is a small step on the way" and the most challenges to create these robots are not to fall down on the ground and to use their energy carefully.

They used same amount of energy as a Olympic runner effort in running 100 meters.
There is enough energy to in the system for the second leg to move forward so that it too start falling and keep the cycle going in a 'stable' state of walking.
It can also move side to side to make sure the centre of gravity is over the foot that strike the ground.

To be able to build more stable, more energy efficient humanoid robots in the future, we need to understand what is going on in running and walking .
