Wag that tail, Robot [ → ]
January 6, 2012
I know we already had a post this week, and a rather substantial one at that, but this is just cool. And it has robots! So forgive me for over indulging in my link sharing, but here is an article with an excellent video on reptilian-like tailed robots (video at the end of the post).
It is so cool to see the little robot wagging it’s tail to stabilize itself mid-air. And also, can you imagine how fast these things can go over rough terrain once they gain the possibility of jumping over ramp-like obstacles?
Nature has done it’s homework. It’s been doing it for millennia, actually, so are we (humans) bad students for copying from it?
