LEGGED WALKING ROBOS

YAMBO III
one of the moving and task performing robots,the legged-walking type, which has high terrain adaptability,is yambo III. generally walking robots need so many degrees
of freedom (DOF) that robots become heavy and its mechanism become more complicated. one of the effective solutions to these problems is developing the robot with bipedal configuration.

MORPH 3
officials and researchers in japan, home to almost halfthe world's 756,000 industrial robots, hope a new robot industry will give the stagnant economy a boost.japanese researchers want to advance the technology by improving mobility or making robots more autonomous.morph 3, a 38-cm-tall humanoid robot, tries to stand after being laid on its back during an experiment at the chiba institute of technology in narashino, chiba prefecture.the project is a joint project between kitano symbiotic system
project and leading edge design corp.athletic properties of the robot become the highest among the same size robots in the world.the robot appeared on the stage of robocup 2002 held in fukuoka, japan.


CYCLOPS
is an interactive human-shaped machine. the machine is equipped with a single camera eye and a spinal column structure. this work was developed for 'robot meme exhibition'at the national museum of innovative technology and emerging science, tokyo, in 2001. cyclops was shown in september 2002at ars electronica center in linz, austria as a part of its permanent exhibition.


DB
an expert in brain science, kawato developed the DB,a humanoid robot that can imitate human action, based on his knowledge that the cerebellum plays a key role in learning and memory. however, the robot has managed to learn only 24 kinds of human action over three years.


ATOM
japanese researchers are advocating a grand project,under which the government would spend 50 billion yen a year over three decades to develop a humanoid robot with the mental, physical and emotional capacity of a 5-year-old human - the atom project.
