The bipedal robot only traveled 5.4 millimeters per minute, equivalent to 0.002 miles an hour. Fortunately, the experts made the machine perform a 90° turn by zapping only one leg repeatedly ...

There have been many bipedal robots modelled on human legs. They require a complex system of motors and gears, and sophisticated computers to handle the motion of all the joints in a coordinated way.

Recently, robotics company ROBOTERA officially launched its next-generation high-performance humanoid robot-the ROBOT L7.

It was just this week that we told you about Unitree's latest quadruped robot, the B2. Well, the Chinese company has also announced its first-ever humanoid bipedal robot, the Unitree H1.

The world premiere of KEENON Robotics' bipedal humanoid service robot, XMAN-F1, takes center stage at the World Artificial ...

The newest version of Unitree's H1 robot, called "Evolution V3.0", is a bipedal robot that stands a little over 5 foot 11 inches (1.8 meters) tall and weighs less than 110 pounds (50 kilograms).

By repeatedly applying electricity to one of the bipedal biohybrid robot’s legs, the robot made a 90-degree turn using the other leg as an anchor. Credit: Matter/Kinjo et al.

To turn, researchers repeatedly zapped the right leg every 5 seconds while the left leg served as an anchor. The robot made a 90-degree left turn in 62 seconds.

The researchers compared the energy efficiency of their robotic leg with that of a conventional robotic leg powered by an electric motor. Among other things, they analysed how much energy is ...

The legged robot is used by the Chinese research team to make a point: auxiliary mechanisms deployed in robots can work wonders in making them better at doing their thing while on two legs ...
