Since 1928, NTU has been one of Taiwan's most dedicated institutions for higher learning. Members of its College of Engineering developed an energy-efficient robot, using the NI LabView and CompactRIO, that can move quickly and smoothly across different…
RoboCup Junior is a robotics initiative that sponsors both regional and international events that use robotics competitions to educate children about robot technology and teach them how to cooperate with their peers. RoboCup Junior also offers an international…
Developed at the Delft Biorobotics Lab, Baps is an affordable autonomous 3D Walking robot that is known for its simple, low-power design. Baps is based on the principle of ballistic walking, which involves walking with free, unpowered movements.
Denise is a pneumatically powered walking robot. It uses the concept of passive dynamic walking and is a natural looking biped robot. Denise has bending, extending knees.
Sanyo developed a wheel-driven delivery robot called FlatThru. It can carry liquids, has ultramodern sensors for stability, and is able to recognize human faces and voices.
Hajime Research Institute created Hajime Robot 1 as a walking test robot. It is the first in a long series of mecha robots designed by robotic fans for other robotic fans. Hajime Sakamoto, the company's owner, is a mecha fan, which is probably why they…
Fujitsu developed the second platform in the HOAP series called HOAP 2. It is equipped with Humanoid Movement-Generation System for movement range, and contains neural networks.
HR 4 is the fourth entry in Dr Robot's series of low-cost androids. It uses patented DURAS architecture, has excellent balance, and grasps object with pincer grip hands.
Japanese humanoid HRP-2M Choromet runs on Linux. It recognizes objects, performs human motions, and follows commands using numerous sensors and 20 DOF.
Students of Carinthia University have created an autonomous humanoid robot called HWM. Based on distributed system architecture, it can stand on one leg, walk and kick a soccer ball.
The humanoid robot LOCH has multiple sensors to study its environment. Visual sensors mounted in its head include stereo cameras and a laser range finder. It can climb stairs and move on flat surfaces. LOCH has movable body parts and pressure sensors…
Hyogo Prefectural Institute of Technology created a model robot called Manekin Robotto which walks on a ramp. It is lightweight and has the potential to replace real models in future.
Max is a 2D robot built at the Delft University of Technology. The robot walks by only using an upper body, hip joints and knees. It makes use of McKibben muscles to offer minimal actuation for waling on a flat floor.
Developed by the Delft University of Technology, Mike is a 2D robot that is pneumatically activated biped and has knees. The prototype makes use of McKibben muscles to offer minimal actuation for walking on a flat floor.
Developed by Boston Robotics, the Sand Flea robot can drive in flat terrain just like an RC car. With a weight of around 11 pounds, Sand Flea has the ability to jump over compound walls, onto a roof, up a stair set or into a high window.
A repositioned center of gravity as well as gyro and gravity sensors make SPC-003 more stable than SPC-001. It has 2 neck joints and 3 more in its hands, arms, and hips.
Designed and built at the Delft Biped Laboratory, Stappo was developed as their first walking robot. Armed with two legs, Stappo functions on two magnets. The robot is capable of walking on flat as well as horizontal surfaces.
