Summary Students of Michigan University have constructed a robot which can run almost like a man.
Presently, it is hard to see a robot to run faster than Human beings but the students have constructed a robot which can run almost like a human albeit comparatively low speed.The Bipedal Robot Named MABEL, constructed after three years hard work can run at a speed of 6.8MPH. The robot has striking similarities with the famous one called ASIMO which is the first robot to look like human which was made by Japanese company Honda.The MABEL which mimics human activity of running also copies human gait in precise details. MABEL is not today’s achievement. Its actual work began in 2008 in collaboration with Jonathan Hurst, Hae Won Park and Koushil Sreenath. Hurst was a doctoral student when the work for designing it started.
