Robots balancing on two legs

Jan 13, 2004 0 Replies

I have been doing some research into robotics lately and have come across some impressive balancing bots based on two wheels using gyroscopes and similar techonolgies for keeping it upright.



However, I feel for a robot to be able to walk around in complex environment like a house with stair and all, you need some kind of legs.



I also recently saw a demonstration of the QRIO robot from Sony which seem to be walking on two legs. It also demonstrates pretty versatile joints that mimic the human shoulder and hip "ball-joints".



Does anyone have any more resources on how robots like these are constructed?



Maybe someone has tried making a robot that can balance on "stilts"?



Best regards
