Ropid robot can running and jumpping


A robot in today is a robot at can dance and can jump with the name is..........

Tomotaka Takahashi, designer and develop a robot from ROBO-GARAGE, works owner will who may appear familiar that be Evolta miniature robot of Panasonic at can climb a rope goes up the Grand Canyon get with the battery 2 just a piece, be late Takahashi think humanoid the present age that can " run" and move get that dexterously still not enough, because his robot can " jump” Wow!!!!

ROPID robot humanoid small-sized capable of jumping 8 cm (3″) high, At 38 cm (14″), that’s about 1/4 of its total body height! And get down can stand by don't fall. During the demonstration, the robot was asked to jump more than 20 times so the photographers could get all their shots.

The name of ROPID is from combination word that Robot with Rapid, can also “run” and can quickly turn in place get dexterously same human. Mr.Takahashi wanted the robot to respond to verbal commands by uses the BSRM01-01E voice recognition chip from Raytron, which allows for speaker-independent word recognition. By ROPID can understand the command and a phrase has arrived at 8 command from a distance of about 3 meters, that can, because to the chip’s noise-canceling properties

Observe at the mouth of ROPID it has mechanical can move with the time speaks and hands with moving fingers which add immensely to its expressive capabilities. ROPID weigh 1.6 kg and has 29 degrees of freedom (2 legs x7, 2 arms x5, trunk x1, and head x4) and body is made of carbon fiber and plastic which, make it lightweights and have durable moderately strength.
The heart of the work of ROPID be mechanical the balancing act of bilateral leg with 2-axis accelerometers, each with two 2-axis gyro sensors that help maintain its balance when running or after jumping and feature a unique belt linkage mechanism which increases stability. Vstone’s VS-RC003 controller board, the same found in their line of hobby robots, was used to program ROPID’s movements. And when take the all component comes to assemble together, append with the ability in promising command with the voice of a human. It make ROPID become humanoid at have work property better small-sized robot at sees general in now (see dexterous more Nao of France) see already similar with the ability of QRIO very much
