Boston Dynamics, an engineering company
founded by Marc Raibert and his colleagues in the year 1992, have
developed dynamic robots and its software for human simulation. Several
innovations were made by them college life in Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. They excelled in the field of robotics and developed robots
that could run and epitomize all basic characteristics of animals.
Lately, the researchers at the Boston
Dynamics lab developed an anthropomorphic robot called Petman. It is a
two-legged, upright robot designed to stand and walk like a man. The
main aim of the machine is to test chemical warfare clothing for the US
army. The robot replicates the same motion of a human being and is able
to move at a speed of 3.2 miles/hour.
Besides the regular motion of the robot,
it has also been programmed to demonstrate some basic workout methods
like – treadmill walking, push-ups, squats, lunges and some simple
calisthenics. From the video below, you can see the robot balancing
itself when it is pushed while running on the treadmill. It took almost 15 months for the designers to design this wonderful machine, and 15 more months to build it.
