This is by far the best humanoid robot leg I've ever seen.

Impressive just note humans naturally lands on their forefoot instead of their heels when jumping as it helps with shock absorbsion.

sometimes I forget how many ways the human foot can move and seeing all the engineering in the heel really puts that into perspective

This is amazing. I think it would be much better to always receive the jumps with what would be the base of the toes. It is much more efficient and transmits the load more progressively than landing with the heel, which also reduces the risk of damage. You can watch parkour videos for inspiration on this.

That was my thought. In a jump and landing, the palm of the foot makes contact before the heel. Landing flat footed shunts kinetic force into the knee... Predictive contact and response would be compute-intense, however this is a good start.

Like the work from this lab so much (with bell-ring ON!). Not only focus and prioritise on functionalities but also the elegant mechanical design.

It's such an awesome improvement for humanoid robot mobility. Looking forward to watching how well the robot will balance and walk with these new legs. Great work.

this is the stuff you'd see in a cyberpunk universe. beautiful

@bort6414

Engineers have tried for many years. The problem is more so just how difficult it is for humans to mimic even a fraction of what nature does at the scale of trillions of times with near-100% accuracy. Consider the leg as a single piece. A trained human can achieve around a 600lbs leg press in roughly a few years of consistent training. While doing that, the human legs can be explosive with fast sprinting, precise enough to control an automobile or gently lift a sleeping infant, all while being limber enough to perform complex acrobatics. All of this, mind you, in a package that regenerates itself and contains its own fuel reactors for energy consumption and production. Back to the 600lbs figure: it may not seem like a lot, but you have to remember that every appendage in your body has *significant* mechanical disadvantage in it's leverage, usually in the realm of 1/5th to 1/6th. Remember the video of the tesla bot motor lifting a piano? Your quadricep muscle could easily do that too, if it wasn't mechanically disadvantaged. Muscle tissue actually has an insanely impressive strength to weight ratio, especially given how dynamic and generalist muscle tissue is. Now the work done by engineers so far is certainly impressive once you consider that nature has had billions of years to improve it's process, but people are quick to assume inorganic machines are inherently super to organic ones.

Oh yeah, this is really good. This is one of the most awesomely original robot legs I've seen.

It looks promising. I would recommend that the toe be used on the landing. Meaning that the toe makes contact as the same time as the heel does. This will help in both dealing with both the shock and balance of landing. The force in the landing itself could be reused for other things like another jump, twist and turns. Like a human or other animal might.

This is really impressive!

This is amazing please keep going.

You have done it again. Phenomenal work. Do you use the motors in any kind of regenerative manner to dampen impacts?

I cannot wait to see how a pair of these legs work in tandem. Heck, I want to see model/toy makers implement articulated/non-motorized renditions of this leg for robot toys like mecha and transformers.

This should be put in an art museum, and later in functional robots that roam the world

This is so accurate. The knees make the same cracking sounds as mine when weight is put on them.

놀라운 메커니즘에 매번 감탄합니다... 👍 건승을 기원합니다

Each segment of the leg has its own muscle to simply drive the motion independently. Yet they all work together in a complex way to provide seamless, flexible and smooth movement. Many simpler robots out there do the opposite by using more complex mechanical structure with lesser number of motors to mimic living creature movement.

@rubenmahrla9800

The problem is that a lot of G-force is handled by the foot joints of humanoid robots. If you imagine one climbing stairs, then it has to be able to handle the entire weight on one joint, repeatedly and persistently without deteriorating. The simpler the joint structure, the more stability.

This is amazing. I want to work on something like this.

We get closer to making Metal Gear a reality

It’s fine to see the cyberpunk era in ma life , hope this tech can be utilize to help injured disable people in high capacities ..😊

Can't wait for the second leg

Humanity,and its evolution,on this planet,has reached a critical point,after which,everything will be changed forever.

This makes Tesla bot look like a toy. Amazing leg tech.

One small step for robot, one giant leap also for robot.

Great research that is inhibited by its mechanical design (lacking multidirectional flexibility), this is why many robotics designers/innovators once they hit the mechanical wall move to soft robotics.

Honestly this is more important work than developing hands right now.

The irl Octane isn't that far away from now I guess! Amazing work!

This so cool!! Soon even Ameca's will be able to sprint.

May I ask why in the final video you went with a heel strike instead of a footpad strike upon landing? Is this machine learning or is the motion user designed? Your work is fantastic and will look forward for future releases.

You're supposed to land on foot back (whatever you call it), pretty correct

What makes the human leg a superior design is all the crafty muscles in the feet each tiny motion can make a huge difference. I was expecting the reveal of this leg to show a gigantic diorama with all the tiny complex feet movements

very cool

Thia would be a great addition to Tesla's OPTIMUS robot. Well done, fantastic design.

This is great 👍

Finally. The future.

that ankle joint is super awesome, not sure how mechanically complex would be to add an additional pivot point on the foot so the leg can strafe while on tiptoe. extremely cool nonetheless

Wow. Good Project. Well Done! Already Subscribed 👍

Awesome

we are getting out of night city with this one.

This is more like it! more reflexive, most robotics that try to emulate the human body are to concerned about precise measuring position and location and making sure it gets exactly to that point, that it wither laggs badly or is really really slow!

I hope TESLA hires you guys! This is amazing!

It's been hard to implement but as electronics and stronger servos can be made smaller the easier it is to make complex simulations of human anatomy. It's hard to replicate the fluid movement of muscles and joints with steel and wires.

Going to be incredible if amputees can gave robot legs that actually detect the motor function signals from the brain.

Looking good 👍

No wonder Korea create KF-21 Boramae with Indonesia. This robot development proves it.

nice research

Great design I love the range of motions it can do. I didn't like the test, it was painful. Jumping, you land toes first not heel first. The same goes for running, the front of the foot is used to engage the ground. For everything you do with greater momentum you use the front so there is no impact that hurts your joints or in this case, destroy bearings and bend parts. The heel touches the ground when you walk or stand when you do slow stable stuff.

No? When you're running, you land flat footed. Not front of foot only, not heels to toes. Flat footed. And running isn't a lot impact sports, it would absolutely destroy any mechanisms that aren't constantly being maintained and repaired by little nanobot friends.

If you go watch Olympic runners they do the same thing because it acts more like a spring where as if you run flat foot you just get a sharp heavy impact that is jarring, slower and causes damage over time.

Awesome design!! Are you thinking about making something similar but for knee amputees?

Great. Make them run faster and have better agility.... Wonderful.

Later, the robotic limb would be made to land on the ball of the foot which could be used for even more complex maneuvers.

cool design and kinematics for shock absorption and could calculate how much footing is needed for uneven surfaces that it cant see but feel with front tip, heel and soul sensors before the whole foot flats a surface. The reverse also looks like it might work well for accuracy on takeoffs . I imagine this could work as standalone for prosthetic or coupled with a bipedal or 4 legged robot.
