Makes me wanna go fishing.Bob's yer uncleFri, 15 Sep 2006 15:16:04 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2006/09/14/toyota-develops-robot-leg-that-can-jump-like-humans/#comment-1759251While I see the advantage of bipedal robots I can?t help but think we may be going to wrong direction. Four or even six legs are far more stable and efficient. I?d like to see more work on centaur-like robots in the house. This type of design would allow them to interact in normal human ways but also carry much more. Not only that, kids could ride the robots around! Or maybe even bear-like robots that can stand upright and walk around when needed but drop to all fours when going long distances or carrying large heavy loads.KourothThu, 14 Sep 2006 10:37:24 -0000
