The Salto-1P now does amazing targeted jumps Post a Comment <p id="speakable-summary">When we last met with <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/26/meet-salto-1p-the-jumping-robot/">Salto the jumping robot</a> it was bopping around like a crazed grasshopper. Now researchers have added targeting systems to the little creature, allowing it to maintain a constant hop while controlling exactly when and where Salto lands.</p> <p>Called “deadbeat foot placement hopping control” the Salto can now watch a surface for a target and essentially fly over to where it needs to land using built-in propellers.</p> <p>Researchers Duncan Haldane, Justin Yim and Ronald Fearing created the Salto as part of the <a href="https://newatlas.com/salto-1p-hopping-robot/56677/">Army Research Office and they will be exhibiting the little guy at the 2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems.</a></p> <p><a href="https://newatlas.com/salto-1p-hopping-robot/56677/">The team upgraded Salto’s controller to make it far more precise on landing, a feat that was almost impossible using the previous controller system, SLIP. “The robot behaves more or less like a spring-loaded inverted pendulum, a simplified dynamic model that shows up often enough in both biology and robotics that it has its own acronym: SLIP,” wrote</a> <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-hardware/jumping-robot-salto1p">Evan Ackerman at IEEE</a>. “Way back in the 1980s, Marc Raibert developed a controller for SLIP-like robots, and people are still using it today, including Salto-1P up until just recently.”</p> <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=fGzyyr7QQ6I:YRr1v9A3JxA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_thUGIOLl8pmRtFIsvY5WpF6u4c8AHg4VDbFosrStLev0iG1mfPKHMqtMz94wx2KXN6tD6jatJtgY1HTeLKkZn4e7i497zm4y14G17NpdQVKN9ozEPR7l5rJsHomHMa7-e9GBXS_MwYZNxHq7DdJUCJzwc=s0-d"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=fGzyyr7QQ6I:YRr1v9A3JxA:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vmsmFqjEG2S6qm3fltXnnvJDzTbjDdOh5mMFfzob1-LNIa-l4Yc3HE8DnpYgWNKNFjJH-znIxN4mjQ4p1Vpu4-wk1K8hTEQsJOtFmbDJvTrx2-djhnsrH6jeHxVu_eIHlPsmHtt_x0xpOGof6ojvb5Tmnm=s0-d"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=fGzyyr7QQ6I:YRr1v9A3JxA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uGfallMeYZl238QFzrjAOQqB8QGPyq1iuF6MKI185JrnUxeB-b6dfjLjnmwUwjKG958YT_WkqNKT_wz_dhu6g3wsd6D0-SugUXqLhAiAbZXP2Gm_AoPLvf42I=s0-d"></a></div> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/09/the-salto-1p-now-does-amazing-targeted-jumps/">Read More</a> Share : Post a Comment for "The Salto-1P now does amazing targeted jumps"
