Title: Big Robo-Bird Trains to Be Fastest on 2 Feet Post by: HCK on March 17, 2015, 09:00:13 pm Big Robo-Bird Trains to Be Fastest on 2 Feet
Becoming the fastest of its kind is just a byproduct of the ATRIAS robot's primary objective. Oregon State University's biped is the focus of a loftier goal: to build an entire industry on its leg locomotion mechanics. Researchers have been drawing inspiration for ATRIAS from birds, and the science will grow from there, said Jonathan W. Hurst, associate professor of mechanical engineering at OSU.
