Google introduces robot 'nightmare'

Boston Dynamics, a subsidiary of Google, launched a four-legged robot called the Handle and was able to scare many people.

Boston Dynamics , a robotics company nicknamed "Nightmare Factory , " has launched a new two-wheeled robot and 4-arm robot named Handle . This robot can stand on 4 legs, similar to previous Boston Dynamics models such as BigDog and Spot.

However, the rear end of the back of this robot is attached to the wheel, making it upright and moving at a speed of 14.5km / h. "Destroyer on skateboard" is the first impression on Handle, Guardian on 28/2 reported.

Boston Dynamics says the design of the hybrid between the wheels and 4 legs is to simplify the research process. The complex joints of a four-legged robot can be removed. The rear wheel pair helps the robot move easily, while the front legs are used for balance and can lift loads up to 50kg.

"The handle uses the engine, balance and motion controls we've seen on our previous robots, but it only has 10 moving joints, making the operation much simpler. The wheels work very well on flat surfaces, while the limbs can travel on any terrain. "Combining these two mechanisms allows Handle to be more versatile than older robots," said Boston. Dynamics said.

However, the video does not show Handle moving with limbs that only roll on two wheels. Marc Raibert, founder of Boston Dynamics, described Handle as a robot that would scare everyone.
