Picotaur: 7.9mm Micro Legged Robot That Can Push Loads, Climb Tiny Stairs

Business & Research, micro, robot

This is the Picotaur: a micro legged robot that can turn, push loads and climb mini stairs. Researchers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University are behind this clever design. This robot has legs that are driven by multiple actuators. It has multiple gait patterns and can hop to overcome obstacles.
