Disney Robotics 'leg jump'

The latest robot from Disney Research has the ability to dance with one foot without holding the strings.

Speaking to Disney, everyone knows that this is a well-known film industry with a series of blockbuster movies ever released, especially high-quality animated films. But in addition to the soul of the animated characters in the film, the company also brings life to the robot .... Previously, we have seen a robot capable of climbing super walls made by Disney, now, a new robot is born equally interesting.

The latest robot from Disney Research has the ability to dance with one foot without holding the strings.

According to the team, they created the robot as a version of the popular cartoon character Tigger, the playful tiger friend of the Pooh bear. Tigger is well known for its tail twist-like image to jump up and down. And Disney created the robot based on this characteristic of the character.

The latest robot from Disney Research has the ability to dance with one foot without holding the strings. However, it still needs to be connected to the power cord at the moment. But the developers said the robot could later move itself without the need for wires.

One-legged dance robot.

The robot's leg is based on a linear elastic actuator in parallel (LEAP) , which uses both electromagnetic actuators and two compression springs. The position and movement of the robot are controlled by two standard motors. Currently, this robot can jump for about 7 seconds and then fall, just as the time Tigger can jump with his tail before hitting something in the movie.
