Guest Crankshaft Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 <font color ="midnightblue"> That is amazing. It's astounding to think of all the physics that must be accounted for to make an inanimate (does ASIMO qualify though? I suppose he's animated enough) object run. He even crouches down slightly when he starts. The things we take for granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 The engineering behind ASIMO continues to amaze me. You know he can walk up stairs? Those things will take over eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Asimo is quite the pimp peice of material. Technicaly, all he's doing there is completeing his walk program at a faster pace. The thing that distinguishes running from fast walking is the fact that in a run, both feet leave the ground. Asimo still has one foot firmly planted for each step. they have gotten the locomotion of the run, hop, skip etc etc perfected, but in suspended half body models. The tricky part is getting the little bastard to maintain his balance, AND provide the additional power needed. He still gets most of his walking based sensory data from what he feels from each footstep. Visualy, all he can do is descern the existence of objects and avoid them. They'll need to develop another form of balance data aquisition to get him hoping and running, or else he wont know where the ground is once his feet leave it. He can probably hop, because his feet aren't moving relative to where they started, but a run will require much better balance, sensory perception, and motor skills. Cant wait, this shit is great. I have a feeling his footsteps are going to be historicaly significant. graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veritas Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 there was a video already of where he was dancing, like him and three others dancing all sweet to some sweet japanese sweet music. Heh. T.c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh. T.c.<font color ="midnightblue"> those weren't member's of the ASIMO family. They were some other type of robot. Either way, it was impressive. Anyone got a vid link?
