  • Roboticists from Switzerland's EPFL institute bring us four awesome robots that are designed to mimic the movements and gait of animals. We chat with these biorobotics researchers about the lessons learned from studying snakes and quadrupeds, and how their robots can be used in practical situations. Plus, these robots are actually pretty cute, and their lifelike movements make great animated GIFs!
    Thanks to Auke Ijspeert and his team for chatting with! Learn more about the EPFL's biorobotics laboratory here: biorob.epfl.ch/

    Those self assembling robots are INCREDIBLE. Fuck, they already work so well. Give them inductive charging and a pad in the room to charge on after tasks, perhaps with some nice high energy density batteries and you have unbelievably useful helper robots.

    Lamp Ray robot reminds me of Terminator Salvation's eel-shaped aquatic Terminators.
    The Modular Robot is like a precursor to Transformers' Cybertronian DNA which can combine and transform into other objects like in the movie Transformers 4 : Age of Extinction. All it needs to do now is make 1) lots of them, 2) make them smaller, & 3) more complex programming for more shapes, movements, and functions.

    Is there a "most efficient walking mechanism"?

    • @killroy42
      @killroy42 8 лет назад +3

      +Alejandro Apellido I think it's called driving ;) i.e. wheels...

    • @Caarnji
      @Caarnji 8 лет назад

      +killroy42 Nope, walking isn´t called driving.
      Driving on wheels is a efficient way of locomotion on surfaces suitable for it but with the worst adjustment to different terrains (try drive up a tree or mountain and you know driving isn´t the best way of movement... :p).

    • @killroy42
      @killroy42 8 лет назад +2

      Hmm, "walking" in general isn't gonna get up a tree or mountain either. So now yo're adding constraints. Most efficient way of legged locomotion perhaps? But now you're constrained to using legs...

    • @alejandronq645
      @alejandronq645 8 лет назад

      +killroy42 ok, wheels are he most efficient way of locomotion, but what about "walking"? (I mean in a completely flat surface)

    • @alejandronq645
      @alejandronq645 8 лет назад

      +Alejandro Apellido I thought about strandbeests (by Theo Jasen) which use the Jasen's linkage for legs. Or also in klank's linkage which I guess is less efficient (since the feet go very high) (which actually make it better for an irregular terrain) but I'm aiming for theost efficient mechanism in a flat surface. Any idea?
