Porous 3d-printed feet help quadruped robots walk using less battery power
SMRTR summary
Researchers at Seoul National University of Science and Technology created porous 3D-printed feet for quadruped robots that absorb and release impact energy, reducing motor workload. Paired with an AI controller, the system cut battery consumption by up to 6.2%, potentially extending battery life for warehouse, inspection, and search-and-rescue robots.
