This robot walks like a man

Now you can still not particularly worry about the uprising of machines - if it happens, very soon. However, the robots have become more sophisticated, though problems in robotics is still a huge amount. For example, a significant problem is the stability of walking robots.

Two teams, Sandia National Labs and SRI International, came together to participate in the competition by DARPA. The product of this cooperation was interesting - it upright bipedal robot, whose name is & quot; DURUS". It is this robot won the contest, having 2, 05 km 2, 5 hours. During this time, the robot has used only 16% battery.



The result shown robot quite interesting - and not only because the system was 2, 5 km, but by how much energy has been expended. Other similar systems consume a lot more energy. The team is now working on finalizing the robot, trying to achieve a more effective result, go 10 km, using the current battery 2, 2 kWh.
