MABEL, current robot

What you will see, here is MABEL Faculty of electrical engineering and computer science, a special project at the University of Michigan, and it's the "fastest two-legged robot with knee".

How fast can it go? The maximum speed is miles per hour, in a flat, circular track. The speed is pretty good, and it is due to a "human-like weight distribution".

Watch a video of it after the jump, and I can tell you that no special effects in the film were used. I would have not taken, if she had used a greenscreen, to make the bar invisible.

Man, I'd love to get my LEGO set and try and replicate these bipedal robots. The reason working University of Michigan as follows on a robot is, because they help a few robot legs want to develop people with disabilities go again. You want to create a robot that can handle all the terrain, such as the walking robot in Star Wars.

This looks definitely like a scene from a science fiction film. I can not help but to think of the ED-209 robot from RoboCop , if I see this. I believe that ED-209 was much slower. I assume that the advanced MABEL can get better than that of the ED-209 stairs.

Choken Bako dog Bank robot

Pooch is on dry kibble or the good, sloppy stuff from a can, but what happens when you create a robotic dog? Sure, Sony AIBO was a rich man toys back in his time, and since then is it now "extinct", as it would be far cheaper with something and would also help you to achieve your financial goals? We are looking for in the $53 Choken Bako dog Bank robot. The name is pretty self explanatory - this is a coin of food money.

Is the coin that you want to save on the feeding bowl, and the dog automatically, what is white because (guess his nose is sensitive to the smell of pennies, Nickels, dimes and quarters), where it can go ahead and gobble it down in a certain hungry. Good thing you clean up after his mess, not need because it "" into the coin box emptying is right below. Pretty cute, but I wonder, how long it will take old, before running his antics. To verify that you have a few AA batteries operation.
