Small Step From Toyota, Giant 'Leap' for Robotics
Yahoo! is reporting that Toyota has developed a robot leg that can jump like a human's, an evolution from today's stiff-jointed machines. The leg is a strange-looking standalone device and Toyota claims it will enable robots to jump about, run faster and handle unpaved roads more smoothly. "This is a basic technology that can be applied to a two-legged robot in future," said a Toyota Motor Corp. spokeswoman. "It was a difficult step for robots," she said. "But it was made possible after making a number of prototypes."
