Tiny Jumping Robot – 2 Legs 1 Tail 11117
A Miniature Tail Assisted Running and Jumping Robot
In nature, small animals or insects use multiple locomotion methods to efficiently travel in difficult environments. Inspired by the multi-modal locomotion ability found in animals, we design a miniature robot that can jump, run, and perform aerial maneuvering. Specifically, this robot can use wheeled locomotion to run on flat ground. Encountering a large obstacle, it can jump up to overcome the obstacle.
Power Line Inspection Robot SKYSWEEPER 11109
by Tim Hornyak
This partially 3D-printed prototype can be produced for less than $1,000, much less than commercial utility line robots.
2 Legged Robot PLANETARY GEAR System 11102
Robot that walks on two feet using a planetary gear system. Designed using Pro-Engineer.

Aldebaran Robotics – Nao Robot 11029
NAO’s walking uses a simple dynamic model (linear inverse pendulum) and quadratic programming. It is stabilized using feedback from joint sensors. This makes walking robust and resistant to small disturbances, and torso oscillations in the frontal and lateral planes are absorbed. NAO can walk on a variety of floor surfaces, such as carpeted, tiled, and wooden floors. NAO can transition between these surfaces while walking.
Takeshi Mita – Kokoro HQ – About Female Actroids – 11027
Since their inception in 1984 Kokoro have created various ‘ofrobots’ including people friendly vending machines, massive animatronic dinosaurs and life-like ‘humanoid’ robots, developed in ‘continous observation of humans’.
Honda unveils All-New ASIMO Humanoid Robot – 11005
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today unveiled an all-new ASIMO equipped with the world’s first autonomous behavior control technology. With a further advance in autonomy, the all-new ASIMO can now continue moving without being controlled by an operator.
Humanoid Robot Walking Like A Real Human – 11004
AIST has succeeded in making HRP-4C Miim walk like a human being. Her knees are stretched by up/down motion of the waist, the single-toe supporting realizes longer strides, and she mimics the swing motion of human legs.
