  • A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of California, Irvine constructed a robot leg that, like its natural model, is very energy efficient. BirdBot benefits from a foot-leg coupling through a network of muscles and tendons that extends across multiple joints. In this way, BirdBot needs fewer motors than previous legged robots and could, theoretically, scale to large size. On March 16th, the researchers will publish their work in Science Robotics.

    If someone doesn't use this information to build a life sized robotic dromaeosaurid is it even worth it

      There was a 45min presentation with one of the creator. The one doing the interview mentions at one point that she would love to see a robotic Trex and Alex (guy mentioned in the video) said he would too. Which I thought was strange since he seemed like the likeliest person to do it

      No it isn't worth it. That humanity doesn't dedicated 100% of it's efforts to robotics is also incredibly dissapointing.

    I wish people started making biologically accurate animal legs like this, as well as biologically accurate bodies for robots instead of elbows on a toaster like that spot robot, and other 4 legged robots, implementing this would be much cooler, not to mention more can be done with a robot thats more sturdy, needs less power, and can move better,

      No , the only thing that needs power is the motors of the hip and upper hip , these cables are for powering the tension sensors , there are images of the Birbot without these cables leading to the limbs , hope that clears it

    Wunderschön! I've for long had the intuition, that you could have a quite dexterous leg with only one DoF. This is it! There's a lot of passive computation done by the mechanics! Beautiful! 😀🦿🦾👌🙏

      In a interview with one of the people who worked in the project , it shows the images of a scaled up version of the Birdbot legs , these legs are 1.75 meters tall , mostly made with wood with some metal parts , of course it has the cables and the springs, it weights 75kg and can support a max weight of 2234 kg as said in the interview th-cam.com/video/WbZG-iUUKYU/w-d-xo.html
