Austria's JKU Linz offers students 110 educational institutes, including the Institute for Robotics (ROBIN). This Institute is dedicated to looking at a better technology and robotics platform that can be beneficial not only for the school but also for…
JST ERATO Asada Project developed a child robot called CB2. The purpose is to study cognitive development, social maturity, behavior, attitude and other personal stuff.
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.
The Cheetah Robot was unveiled at the 2011 IRCA. These hind limbs showed impressive force and speed when they kicked from a crouched position. Hybrid and pneumatic actuators provide the energy for fire positioning. The developers plan to develop upper…
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.
Cognitive Robotics Laboratory in Vanderbilt University built ISAC. It is a humanoid and has pneumatically powered arms. It memorizes information and can display various complex behaviours.
Nippon Engineering College of Japan created KARFE, a humanoid robot which has interactive capabilities that enable it to function as a guard and even take care of children.
LUCY was created as a result of extensive research into analysis of rigid and flexible mechanical systems, kinematical and dynamical simulations, and the development of new actuators. This robot's joints are powered by an antagonistic pair of pleated…
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.
Mowgli is a Japanese robot which can jump and land autonomously. This air powered robot contains an artificial musculoskeletal system with pneumatic muscles which give it six DOF.
A U. of Tokyo grad student built PIGORASS, a 13-foot robot quadruped with a simulated neural system, ABS resin/carbon fiber body, and both pneumatic and passive muscles.
MIT developed a two-legged planar running machine called Planar Biped. It has a flexible body, uses single-legged algorithms and is used to study movements on rough topography.
Pneuborn-13, Pneuborn-7ii's elder sister, explores the role of the musculoskeletal system in bipedal walking. Its knees and ankles are capable of flexion and extension.
Pneuborn-7ii is named for its pneumatic operation and resemblance to a 7-month old infant. It's used for research on the musculoskeletal system and motor development.
The pneumatic powered robot Shadow Walker was developed to help with research on humanoid walking. The goal is to make this robot function in a normal human environment.
