Use of adaptive neural chip to control a single leg running on a round drum. Research in Robot Development, i.e. a robot that 'learns' to walk without external teacher. Research in visually mediated behavior. In this picture, GEO responds to moving environment by making postural change. The application is inspection tasks in tight spaces.
Robot is controlled using miniature, high strength cables moving through miniature cable guides.
This version was all-electric. Used behavior based control to fly. Robotics Platorm is a highly modified X-CELL 60 model helicopter. Learningto Walk using GAs University of Southern California Collaborator Andrew Fagg Rodney robot learned to walk. Used Genetic Algorithm to design locomotory controller automatically.
