When a team of Cornell scholar put Ranger to work tottering around the running track it just kept on walking , finally reach 45 lap before its batteries died and the poor affair toppled backwards . This 5.6 - mile wage increase smashed the previous 20 - lick record . The kneeless Ranger is project to investigate aspect of travel so that robot walking can be meliorate , and hopefully prosthetics for homo too .
It ’s design to apply gravity to assist its pace , tip its human foot to take form off the undercoat much like our branch do , and the squad reckon it ’s about as efficient at walking as we are . Honda ’s Asimo , for exemplar , uses something like ten times as much energy , or so estimates the team . Sadly this young phonograph record is unofficial , as “ there ’s a set of rigmarole ” in getting Guinness in , apparently . pity ! All that striding for no official book . [ Physorg ]
