Now onto some tech news.... Researchers in Japan have developed a robot and they say
it′s one of the fastest in the world. So just how fast is it?
Well, the robot is able to run at about 4-point-3 kilometers per hour.
You may not be impressed by this speed,... but bear in mind,... unlike most conventional
robots that move on rollers,... this is a bi-pedal robot that features a pair of legs...
14 centimeters long. It′s called ACHIRES or the Actively Coordinated...
High-speed Image-processing Experiment System... created by robot engineers at the University
of Tokyo. It can pivot its hips forward and swing the
legs forward to kick the ground before it loses balance.
ACHIRES also features a high-speed camera and a stabilizing motor that allows it to
lean forward without tipping over. Well. Looking forward to the day when I can
go up against one to see if I can outrun it.... All right Jung-in,... thank you for those
updates. We′ll see you back... in just about two hours.
