Sexy HRP-4C Robot
Girl Dances and Sings_Bring Her Home!!! New Japanese HRP-4C robot walks like a girl!
The HRP-4C, as the engineers call the robot, has far
more motors than traditional robots, which allow for
more movement of virtually all body parts as the
robot walks. This came about after many hours of
studying the fluid dynamics involved in the subtle
grace with which women walk. Two key factors in
particular got the most study. The role of toes in
supporting the weight of the body during a certain
phase of each step and how legs tend to straighten
out more than do traditional robots, which in many
cases, have more closely resembled the way that
Frankenstein walks than real life women. |
