Created in Lab Arai Robotics Robot Asterisk in appearance, indeed, like a spider, even though the number of extremities - an insect. But the main thing - it shows a surprising mobility and flexibility in their use of the six legs. They are located on the round body Asterisk symmetrically at intervals of 60 °, each foot has four degrees of freedom, and together they provide a full omni-directional robot motion, ease of movement of obstacles, and an inclined surface. Articulation is so universal, that a certain top and bottom with Asterisk does not have: an inverted back, it is not accepted twist legs, like a beetle, but continues to operate normally.
Asterisk receives information about what is happening around with a whole arsenal of tools. This pressure sensors at the end of each ...
