Robot running in hover shoes

A robot called CASIE rides hovershoes made by InMotion, well known for its hoverboard.

Kathy is a robot that looks like an ostrich leg. A robotic network being developed by a research team at Oregon State University in the US This experiment was conducted by UC Berkeley Hybrid Robotics using a cache.

Rather than a hoverboard that connects the left and right as one, riding independent shoes one by one is quite difficult for humans. However, the research team says that just by installing some sensors, robots can move autonomously in hover shoes within the university.

Cathy has a structure that only moves her toes up and down and cannot shake her ankles from side to side. However, after training, he succeeded in establishing a sense of balance even if he fell where there was a step, or if only one side was on a high step, or there was a small obstacle in front.

Robots with such a sense of balance are expected to be applicable for delivery, security, or warehouse work in the future. Related information can be found here .
