He does not do somersaults, but in emergency situations it can be really useful.
Engineers at the Italian Institute of Technology presented an unusual robot equipped with four legs with six degrees of freedom. In addition to them, it also has two arms, to which you can connect various types of manipulators.
Such a set of controllable limbs fully explains the name of the robot - The Centauro. First of all, it is designed to perform various rescue operations where it is too dangerous for a person to be. This can be either clearing rubble or clearing mines.
At the end of each leg, the robot has a pivoting wheel that allows it to move neatly and smoothly on a level surface. In situations with difficult movement, he may well walk or even climb obstacles.
The height of such a "centaur" is 1.5 meters, and its weight is 93 kilograms. On one battery charge, it can work for about 2.5 hours. The robot is controlled by an operator, but partial autonomy allows him to independently process high-level commands and break them down into low-level ones.
In the future, it is planned to use a special exoskeleton to control manipulators, pedals to control movement and a virtual reality helmet that allows you to broadcast images from The Centauro cameras.
