The first step was to experiment to determine the effects of duplication on the newly designed robotic legs and leg joints. This includes manually upsetting and then releasing the leg, resulting in a result on the high -speed video. This showed that the leg and the joint essentially served as a “underpaded springs masm-dimp model”, which had a slightly “veslavolastic crap” for good measure measurement. Subsequently, the team presented a series of freefall experiments with a large -scale and connected small fiber glass crash test dummy vehicles like Robobie, which occupied every free fall on a fast video. After that, various take -off and landing approaches were tested.
The last phase was running experiences on a continuous take -off and landing series using Robobie, in which a small robot was removing, shaking, then moving late before he was briefly shouted and near another address. The basic setup was the same as the previous experiences, even the exception of having a plant branch in the motion capture Arena. Robobie was able to safely land at other addresses (or uneven levels) on repeated trials with various parameters.
Going forward, the Wood team will try to further improve the mechanical damping after landing, taking lessons from stingless flies and mosquitoes as well as measure it to large vehicles. According to the authors, this will require investigation into the geometry of more complex legs. And Rububi still needs to be a teacher in the offboard control system. The team hopes that one day electronics will be added on the ship with built -in sensors.
“The long -term purpose is complete sovereignty, but interimly we are working through challenges of electrical and mechanical components using teachers devices,” The wood said. “Surprisingly, Safety Tithars were joining the way of our experiences, and so safe landing is an important step to remove these tatriors.” This will make Robobie more viable for many practical applications, including environmental surveillance, destruction monitoring, or crowds of rubbus engaged in artificial jargon.
