BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal's, and have compliant elements.... more

there are many studies about leg-wheel hybrid mobile robot because walking robot has high terrain adaptability on irregular ground but wheeled robot takes advantage of moving speed on smooth terrain. In the past, active wheels were often used for wheeled locomotion. However installation of active wheels restricted.... more

The PAW robot can bound like a squirrel and roll up and down hills using motorized legs and wheels. Unlike other hybrid wheeled-leg robots that can only walk, PAW can run at over 1 m/s by taking advantage of the springs in its legs. It was developed at McGill University's Ambulatory Robotics Lab and Mechatronic.... more

Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos. As seen on the PBS NOVA program "THE GREAT ROBOT RACE", A.I. Motorvators, builders of "It Came from the Garage", have an extensive racing background and take a different approach toward robot racing.

This is a project from Chalmers university in Sweden. The automatic guided vehicles follows a electric cable on the floor, know it´s position by reading the RFID-tags and given orders from a PC through a bluetooth link. The AGV:s also detect barricades with IR-sensors. The AGV:s transport material to the painting.... more

TOPIV SPRUE PICKING ROBOTS

Digital 3D models of the environment are needed in rescue and inspection robotics, facility managements and architecture. This video presents an automatic system for gaging and digitalization of 3D indoor environments. It consists of an autonomous mobile robot (KURT3D / Ariadne), a reliable 3D laser range finder and.... more
