Jet-powered humanoid robot baby achieves robust flight control in simulations
SMRTR summary
Italian researchers developed a new control system that allows the jet-powered humanoid robot iRonCub to achieve stable flight and follow flight paths in computer simulations, even when hit by strong disturbances like pushes or lateral forces. The breakthrough uses a dual-speed control framework that coordinates the robot's fast joint movements with its slower jet engines, bringing flying humanoid robots closer to practical disaster-response applications.
