Posted March 25, 200520 yr Welcome, robot, overlord, etc. http://unit.aist.go.jp/is/dsysd/mtran/English/ http://www.physorg.com/news3472.html Looks like robotics is finally getting a handle on all-terrain locomotion. I do wonder how long the MTRAN robot takes to run the training routine; genetic algorithms are notoriously slow. It might make for adorably wobbly robot toddlers. P.S.- I figured myg0t could use a change in the topics that have been coming about lately.

March 25, 200520 yr Oh man this reporter is a fucking genius. These treads prevent the snakebot from stalling or becoming stuck on rough terrain because, similar to a tire touching a road, t the treads propel the robot forward like a tire touching a road.
