This pooch can actually fly.
A robotic canine developed by a South Korean tech firm has set a brand new file by operating a 100-meter sprint in below 20 seconds, Guinness World Records stated this week.
HOUND, a four-legged fake pup constructed on the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Daejeon, made the sprint in 19.87 seconds with a median velocity of 11.26 mph, Guinness said this week.
“In simulation, it can accelerate to even higher speeds, but we haven’t tested it in the real world yet,” HOUND’s designer, Young-Ha Shin, instructed the outlet.
“All of these movements were achieved with a single [motor] controller in the simulation through reinforcement learning,” he stated. “In order to push the limits of an actuator, motor characteristics were incorporated into the simulation to make the environment as close to the real world as possible.”
The mechanical mutt, the product of the Korean academy’s Dynamic Robot Control and Design Laboratory, made his record-setting run on Oct. 26
The 99-pound robotic nonetheless has a method to go to match a two-legged human — Jamaica sprinter Usain Bolt nonetheless holds the 100-meter world file along with his 9.58-second run in 2009.
It’s additionally unclear what the earlier file was as a result of Guinness didn’t put up it.
Last 12 months, MIT reported that its four-legged robotCheetah, had reached a dizzying 28.3 mph, surpassing even Bolt’s high velocity of 27.78 mph, the Massachusetts college claimed.
However, Cheetah’s builders didn’t put up a 100-meter time for his or her creation.
Researchers at Oregon State University unveiled a two-legged robotic that t named Cassie that clocked a 100-meter sprint in 24.73 seconds, according to Interesting Engineering.
