I still have to admit that not enough time has passed for me to forget about that awesome wheeled robot presented by the guys from Boston Dynamics, one of the most advanced companies in the world of robotics. It is precisely because of this that today I want to introduce you to what the latest creature designed by Ghost Robotics, a company perhaps not so well known but with similar capabilities.
miniature is the name with which the boys of Ghost Robotics have decided to baptize their latest creature, a small four-legged robot that stands out for having the ability to jump and even climb, two actions much more complex to program than we can even imagine and that this little robot does it with ease and mastery worth mentioning and even admiration.
Once on the market, the Minitaur is expected to be priced at about $ 1.500 per unit.
Thanks precisely to the mastery of this functionality, as you may be imagining, Minitaur is especially skilled to advance on any type of terrain, especially if it presents an irregular surface. You have proof of what I say in the video that I have left you located just above these lines where those responsible for the development of the project within Ghost Robotics decided to go outside with their creature for a little walk.
Before saying goodbye I would like to emphasize that, despite its small size, the robot is capable of moving at a maximum speed of up to 2 meters per second, jumping to a height of 48 centimeters. There is still a long way to go until Minitaur hits the market, although its managers dare to announce that, once it is mass produced, it could be yours for a few U.S. dollar 1.500.
