Here is a two -legged robot that can run (still slower than people)
I will support you, "Good luck!"
Why is people running so impressive?Oh, in this case, it's not a person but a robot.
Cassie is only a robot developed by Agility Robotics, a spin -off spin -off of Oregon State University.He seems to be able to walk and run, and he finished 5km in the world's fastest 53 minutes for a bipedal robot.The appearance of running hard, emo!
Well, it's not a faster in 53 minutes, it's a distance that can be run in about 30-40 minutes for humans, and some people keep the same pace as Cathy while walking in the above video.Rather, the great thing about Cathy is not speed, but a 5km distance in one charge without any support.
Acquire running skills in machine learning
Running is a very complicated behavior of biomechanical, and there is a site that analyzes the running form.Most people establish their own running styles as their instinct leads, but if they are reproduced as robots, especially bipedal robots, they need a "dynamic balance (dynamic hanging)".It seems to be very difficult.
How do I keep a dynamic balance so that I don't fall?In the case of Cathy, he used a deep enhanced learning algorithm to learn how to balance himself.
Professor Jonathan Hurst, a Professor of Robot Engineering at Oregon State University and co -founder of agility robotics, explains Cathy in this way.
Endurance of bipedal walking robot
When you hear it as an animal, you will suddenly see the four -legged robots.
For example, Mit's Cheetah -kun can bomb at about 45 km / h, and the robot dog GO1 developed by UNITREE in China can run at a pace of about 10 km / h.These four -legged robots have been running at a relatively fast speed for a long time, but they were not always good at long distances.
So, Cathy's turn.Cathy, who has overcome the dynamic balance, which was the weak point of a bipedal stroller, has now been able to do 5km endurance run for the first time in the world.However, she seemed to have trouble during this test, and her computer overheated for 6 and a half minutes, and she fell over the corner....
Future help robot?
It seems that it was a 5km run full of turbulence, but it seems that the effect of increasing the expected value for a bipedal walk robot was definitely.
Oregon State University seems to think that two -legged robots will eventually be a worker who will deliver delivery, logistics, and work at home.
Says Hurst.For such a future, Cathy has already learned to use her machine learning to go up the stairs without LIDAR or camera.
That said, there are many technical hurdles, and it seems that it will take more time for Cathy to go out of the university campus and become a consumer product.
Even though it is just a leg, the running figure is healthy.If you speed up and chase, it may be a bit too powerful.
