(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Caltech have built a bipedal robot that combines walking with flying to create a new type of locomotion, making it exceptionally nimble and capable of complex movements.

RAI Institute's Roadrunner robot has impressive capabilities, like walking up stairs and rolling around on two wheels. Just ...

Walking bipedal robots excel at tasks such as traversing uneven terrain, but because they're so mechanically complex, they can't be made very small. That could soon change, however, thanks to the ...

What's 3.6 cm tall (1.4 in), and could one day be performing tasks such as walking through disaster site rubble looking for trapped survivors? It's Zippy, which is reportedly the smallest ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...

The feasible planar regions are used for footstep planning, preventing the body from hitting obstacles, and the heightmap is used to calculate foot trajectory to avoid foot collision during the swing ...

Assistant Professor Dr. Aaron Ames at the A&M Bipedal Experimental Robotics Lab (AMBER) heads a team of students in the design, simulation, and fabrication of a robot that will walk like a human. The ...
