Robotic turkey gets a spring in its step

Researchers at MIT's Leg Laboratory have built a series of legged robots, including one-legged hoppers, bipedal runners, bipedal walkers, a quadruped, and two kangaroo-like robots.

Legged robots may be useful for everything from exploring inaccessible or hazardous locations to providing service or entertainment in the places we live and work. Understanding how humans and other animals walk and run is interesting scientifically and important medically. Leg Lab research has been used to develop a new and improved artificial knee that adapts to terrain, among other applications.

The first walking robot was Spring Turkey, which could only walk in circles attached to the end of a mechanical boom. Later came Troody, a fully autonomous bipedal robot modeled after the dinosaur Troodon, which could walk around on its own. The latest is Butch, a protoceratops, which will simulate a realistic-looking dinosaur with the help of special effects.
