MAB’s Honey Badger Robot

0

Meet MAB’s Honey Badger Robot: a quadrupedal robot that can take on challenging outdoor tasks. It has a water and dustproof body. This robot is smart enough to operate without additional sensors such as LiDAR. It comes with level 2 autonomy. Once the operator provides direction and speed, the robot does the rest by deciding how to move while keeping its balance.

BirdBot: Energy Efficient Robot Leg

0

Researchers look to nature all the time to improve their designs. BirdBot happens to be an energy efficient robot leg by a team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of California, Irvine. It is designed to need fewer motors than other leg robots. As the researchers explain:

BirdBot benefits from a foot-leg coupling through a network of muscles and tendons that extends across multiple joints.
