After a long time of waiting Boston Dynamics is back and this time to surprise all those fans of the world of robotics since, literally, I have to admit that everything that the new robot is capable of doing is impressive Handle, a model that uses only two wheels to move and that is capable not only of maintaining balance, but also of jumping.
It is particularly striking that the Boston Dynamics engineers have chosen that Handle is moved solely by using two wheels, especially if we take into account the predilection that all these feel towards the creation of robots with four legs. Taking into account other characteristics of the robot, highlighting its size of 1,98 meters or something as simple as the ability to jump up to 1,22 meters in this first version.
Handle evolves the robotic platform of Boston Dynamics a little more.
Just above these lines I leave you a video where you can see in detail what this engineering bearer created by Boston Dynamics is capable of, a creature that is capable of travel up to 25 kilometers on a single battery charge at a maximum speed of 14,5 km / h. Undoubtedly a robot that will attract the attention of many fans, especially due to the large number of technical solutions implemented in it.
It should be noted, according to Boston Dynamics, that Handle is the easiest robot to build that they have manufactured to date, which allows its price in the market, if it arrives, to be well below the rest of its robots despite its work it can be even more efficient in different areas. It said if it is ever marketed since, like the rest of the robots designed and manufactured by Boston Dynamics, Handle is a platform created for research and development purposes.
