This square image collects a photo and a screen-grab of gait variability tests from the research going on at under the leadership of Joseph Humphrey at the University of Leeds. The photo shows a black, four-legged robot walking on a flagstone paving. It somewhat resembles a Boston Dynamics “dog” with a smaller black electronic unit on its “back.” The screen grab comes from a gait test compilation video that shows the robot moving at varied gaits. Shown: Upper row, L-R: “amble,” “limp,” “bound,” and “pronk.” Lower row, L-R: “trot,” “run,” and “hop.” All imagery credits: Joseph Humphrey, University of Leeds.
An all-terrain #robot? Until your robot can walk over rough, inclined, & irregular surfaces, that’s a tough job. Researchers at the University of Leeds are harnessing #AI to develop a #machine that varies its #gait like an #animal.
