Little HERMES is a remote-controlled biped walking robot that is being developed by an MIT research team that instantly mimics human movements.
Little Hermes says that building a fully autonomous robot with motors and decision-making capabilities comparable to humans is still too much of a task, so it will be possible to conduct disaster reconnaissance or rescue through remote operation determined by human judgment.
Little Hermes is a stiff, lightweight frame designed to withstand impact to minimize weight, custom actuators and sensors capable of generating high torque, and mechanisms to operate leg performance at a high level, including lightweight, impact-resistant leg sensors. Contains.
On the human side, in order to track the movement of the body, a guard worn in extreme sports was borrowed, the brace was extended and fixed in the air. In addition, the leg also attached a moving part that tracks the movement and connected it to the actuator. In addition, an interface that directly feedback human balance was applied. Through this, humans can experience the experience of manipulating an avatar in a different place like the movie Ready Player 1.
Little Hermes has a heavy torso and delicate legs, but can handle continuous jumps. Jumping while moving the center of gravity opposite to the direction of falling like a Segway. However, the most promising thing about Little Hermes is the Cheetah 3, a four-legged walking robot made by MIT, or a mini cheetah, a small version, and if you combine it in any way, it will move to a high-speed four-legged and become a two-legged walking type at the disaster site. It is considering the development of a transforming hybrid transforming robot. Related information can be found here .
