Engineers are looking to the natural world for ideas on how to make robots move
The Mini Cheetah, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, can run at speeds of up to 3.9 metres per second.Inspiration can come from anywhere. For Radhika Nagpal, it came from her honeymoon.
Many roboticists are looking to biology for inspiration in robot design, particularly in the area of locomotion. Although big industrial robots in vehicle factories, for instance, remain anchored in place, other robots will be more useful if they can move through the world, performing different tasks and coordinating their behaviour.
Nevertheless, quadruped robots are one of the better options for negotiating difficult terrain, says J. Sean Humbert, a mechanical engineer who directs the Bio-Inspired Perception and Robotics Laboratory at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
