Well… it’s a start. He still needs a cart to carry his battery, but it’s a start!

That’s also of benefit to stability, I suspect. Very cool. If he can go long enough, he could be a robotic trash collector! The AI for that task would be insane tough, I suspect. An empty candy bar wrapper is ok, but if it has a bite left, it’s not trash, unless it’s all runny and gross…

I imagine this guy running in slow motion to the rythm of Charriots of Fire… but in Midi format.
Eeeew! =(

I do love the helmet! Crash protection?
For the Alieness here is the file: Chariots of Fire (midi). A really bad one 😉 -
PepsiVieux…. so bad! So bad, it’s a bad link too. I think you meant:
homepage.mac.com/avek/chariots.midHow did you respond to the Alieness’ request so precisely?
Sarchi: the gladiator segway concept cracks me up…

oh man, I´ve just seen this… HAHAHAA I am falling from my chair!
Never so precise, true, J. Dearest OC, you read my mind. What a master!
Did you make the file? really?
LOL!!!!!!!! If you could see me laugh to tears here…
=D
EDIT: The part starting from minute 1:40 is EXACTLY what I was playing in my imagination.

What a great robot! It looks like an experiment with the mechanics of walking. I can’t see any electronics though. What can this thing actually do?
I especially enjoyed your title. LOL!

Perfect observation. This is a mechanical design. And what well, it can walk its owner around. Here’s a photo. He designed the cams through trial and error to mimic his own gait. Getting it to walk backward was a lot easier, and was the first step, so to speak, since the designer could consciously perceive his own subcomponents of motion while doing a strange act. Walking forward is so far down the neural subsumption stack so as to be difficult to decompose.

"difficulty of walking design"? Ha! Tell Mother Nature ’bout it…
She had to practice big time before arriving to some respectable results. That´s why she began wish fish… they didn´t have to walk…. but as the terrains emerged more and more from the waters, Pangea wasn’t what it used to be, so the need to get into walking desgin was pressing…
So she started from scratch… the problem -or curious thing- is that she didn´t throw away her mockups, she spreaded them all over the globe! … take for example…
-the crab community must be hating me at this point- 😛

@Ben… yeah, they are. It´s also that "wtf, bro?!" look in their compound eyes that gives that general don´t-mess-with-me feeling they emanate…
Now I came to know -searching for "compound eyes crab" in google- that there are also violinist crabs, tho. Maybe some music players among their community may redeem their whole fame of insensitive guys. 😉
