Researchers from Oregon State University have developed a two-legged robot on a human scale: ATRIAS. The robot is used for the testing of theoretical concepts. Now it turns out that the robot about obstacles.
The robot was designed to function as a simple mass-spring system, a model similar to a pogo-stick. This two-legged spring-model can walk and run, as can be seen in many more movies, which appear irregular. In the video below, the robot moves about a fifteen inches high obstacle to go without to ‘stumble’. In this context, the obstacle is not detected by a camera or other external sensor.
At this time, ATRIAS, along with many other robots on the road to the Darpa Robotics Challenge finale on June 5 and 6 will be held in California.
