@@SherifBender Robotic legs are cool, but they are not for everyone. Especially not for everyday use.

Been a long minute since I've seen a robot of this kind that I didn't feel was useless outside of cities and facilities. Honestly impressed. Could actually see use of it in some woods I spend time with, sending it to stands or areas where trail clearing is being done to deliver light supplies, like drinks or some tools. But, looks a bit on the light side, be pretty neat to see a heavy duty one capable of pulling something like a 4-wheeler(quadbike) for heavier tasks.
Finally! Years ago I first saw an illustration for a sci-fi robot that had legs but with wheels instead of feet, and I thought "why the hell not?" And since then I've been wondering why no-one's done it yet. Like, to me it's a no-brainer. WAY more versatile.
I wonder how long it took to find a set of stairs with runs wide enough for it to go up? I'm wagering that with wheels that size it would not have much luck with most standard staircases.
It's basically _hopping_ up the stairs. With a more walking-like approach it could probably get up steeper stairs, 20" wheels should be enough. They just probably haven't yet figured out how to program / learn this.
@@leftaroundabout In order to balance the axle has to be directly above the step, so this places a limit of wheel diameter based on the pitch of the stairs. once the stair treads are too narrow the axel will be past the edge of the step and the whole thing will roll down again. leaning forward to balance will not work because of the way wheels transfer forces. straight down from the center.
@@KonradZielinski wheels don't transfer forces “straight down from the center”. (Unless they happen to roll on a flat surface of course.) Watch some motorbike trials competitions to see what crazy things are possible with wheels.
I thoroughly enjoy riding my electric unicycle, but the use of this tech in a similar fashion could absolutely amazing. The mobility it could give those that struggle with wheelchairs & prosthetics, with the ability to ascend stairs, could be life-changing. Great work, you guys!
There are already stair climbing electric wheelchairs. And they have mechanisms to prevent it tipping over completely when there is a problem Also lifts and ramps exist.
Awesome. I can see the large efficiency gains of this over spot. I think both have their tradeoffs. This one will certainly reign supreme for operations on paved surfaces.
This is really amazing. Shouldn't take long for them to mount guns to these things to march us to the showers when we don't comply. Beautifully designed.
If the stairs are wide enough, I think it might be able to go up a little faster by going diagonally so it can lift one wheel at a time, bobbing slightly side to side instead of jumping with the whole thing at once for each step.
Looks good at chasing humans, does it come with brackets to hold things..or will there be extra charges for that..and just to be clear..it does not swim well , correct?
Do you make a seat that attaches where the sensor goes? I need to ride this out into the wilderness because I have spinal damage and can't hike there anymore. Besides, wheels leave less footprint than..uh.....feet. lol
Your idea looks good... But, if you're going to make wheelchairs out of it, I'll tell you a little story: I had a J&J "iBot 4000" which cost me 25,000 pounds and had to change batteries (1,150lbs a pair) every 6 months! Not to mention that extreme care was needed to climb stairs, absolutely impractical... the very thin tires always punctured due to the weight of the chair and the user; the joystik command always had problems and manufacturing, engineers had to come to fix it; the charger was also a problem as it was always getting damaged in the plug etc...I even had to change the main chassis, which cost me another 4,000 pounds! The list could continue... until finally they stopped (fortunately) from selling the batteries and the owners had to throw the iBot to the trash losing all the huge investment! It was the worst wheelchair I've ever had is this almoust 30 years being paraplegic! And as for J&J, a shame the way they treated their customers who spent fortunes on travel, buying the crap IBot and the hassles we had!!!
That is a horrific story. These robot companies should cut their teeth building better wheel chairs. The government should pay for this, as the tech advances benefits the nation. Those who need them should get free chairs.
Would two of these be able to work in conjunction to move someone from a hazardous situation, like during a search and rescue mission? An autonomous litter.
This would be amazing to implement for doing package deliveries. In the case of smaller bubble-mailer packages that are dropped at the front door, this could help speed it up if there are deliveries in the same area. A vehicle could act as a central station for a couple while people could be there to deliver larger items and the bots could just travel along a sidewalk back to the vehicle for a quick charge and pick up another package.

Actually, i think this is the future of personal transportation, once one of the electric unicycle manufacturers gets hold of the idea. Two parallel articulated wheels that we can stand on. A hover board that can do uneven terrain. They just need to put the cargo area (foot plates) between the wheels and below the axle.

Cool, and may have some limited practicality. But Swiss Mile’s 4-legged robot approach makes more sense; it can convert from quad vehicle to bipedal to 4-legged crawling. Why limit to only 2 legs and waste energy in balance mode when at rest?

I wonder how long it took to find a set of stairs with runs wide enough for it to go up? I'm wagering that with wheels that size it would not have much luck with most standard staircases.
Then give it a set of triple wheels as often used in strollers capable to be pulled up stairs. The principle still works.
An excellent creation, but not a fair comparison - Boston Dynamics posted a video of a wheeled robot, still on this platform, back in 2017.
