ROBORTER.COM – leading robot’s news agency 2005–2008
Every day you will get all the latest news about the development of robot technologies
The engineers of the Japanese university Waseda University, noted for its developments in the field of robot technology (for example, two-legged Wl-16riii), created the sequential robot of the class "pryamokhodyashchikh". The new boat -gumanoid Wabian-2r can brag by the ability to move with a speed of about 2 km/h, in this case the gait of it much more "is humane" how in other stepping robots - Wabian-2r is capable to completely straighten feet, preserving balance. For control of gumanoidom is used processor Intel Pentium M with a clock frequency of 1,6 GHz. However, the low energy consumption CPU in this case did not play large role - the capacity of battery sufficiently only for 15 minutes of jaunt. Weight of droida - 67,5 kg with an increase in 147,5 cm. a quantity of joints - 39 (on six in each leg, on ten in the hands, three in the neck and on two in the trunk and the back).

To development Wabian-2r are shrewd two years and more than 170 thousand dollars. It is possible to definitely say that not one cent not it was spent in vain - university Waseda do not in vain consider cradle robotics engineers.
