EPFL created Locust Inspired Jumping Robot which is a tiny robot which can jump very high. It has potential to be used in search and rescue operations and in monitoring environment.
MIT’s Leg Laboratory is one of the premier robotics research labs in the U.S. This lab created the Uniroo and 3D Biped robots, which appeared in the film “Rising Sun.” Devoted to developing dynamic-legged robots, Leg Laboratory has developed one-legged…
Athlete Robot has flexible legs that allow it to run and jump. Compressed air and elastic prosthetic blades make this robot capable of human-like movement.
Hajime Robot 2 has many improvements over its predecessor. It has an improved appearance and can walk on uneven terrain such as stairs. Hajime Robot 2 helped to jumpstart a series of RoboCup victories for its developers thanks to all its improvements.
HyQ is a torque-controlled Hydraulic Actuated Quadruped robot developed by the Italian Institute of Technology. It can navigate difficult and rough terrains, and can also run and jump.
The third humanoid robot in the Mari series, the Mari III, is equipped with the Robot Network (RON) control system. Its body mechanism is built primarily with aluminium alloy, and it also has gyro sensors and accelerometers. The development of Mari III…
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.
Robo Xero was created by Himeji Softworks and Futaba. This action toy robot can walk and run and also perform punches and jumps in martial arts style. It is also great for robot wrestling because it has a five-finger robotic hand and a strong grip. It…
The ROPID robot by Robo Garage can walk, run, and jump with impressive speed. It can also talk and respond to voice commands, and has big anime eyes and a cute mouth.
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.
SkyHopper is a popular remote-controlled robotic insect that makes running takeoffs in small spaces and also walks and jumps. Crash sensors disable its wings upon impact.
Toyota developed a robotic leg called Toyota Hopper which can hop and jump like humans. It has a joint on each toe allowing it to bend and stretch with its knee-like joints.
Peter Dilworth from MIT developed a bipedal dinosaur robot called Troody. This autonomous robot has sensors, joints and on-board computer to guide it to walk, run and jump.
The Kitagawa-Tsukagoshi Lab at the Tokyo Institute of Technology focuses on the development of robots that can be utilized in dangerous environments for search and rescue missions. One of their current projects is a robot that can use a sensor that is…
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…
MIT Biomimetic Robotics Laboratory researchers have developed a special computer process for bounding, which enables the Cheetah v. 2 to run faster and untethered
Professor Masatoshi Ishikawa and his colleagues at the Ishiwaka Watanabe Laboratory of the University of Tokyo developed a bipedal walking robot that is one of the fastest robots ever made: ACHIRES
Educational robot ED-E is used to teach students about computer programming and physics, among other subjects. Its transparent body frame allows children to watch its parts work.
Tokyo Institute of Technology developed a one-legged hopping robot called KENKEN. It has hydraulic actuators as muscles and spring as tendon using which it can hop on one leg.
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.
WowWee’s Roboreptile gives you hours of interactive fun. This robot reptile can avoid objects with infrared sensors as it moves. A whipping tail completes its realistic look.
