IIT reveals advances in the world’s first jet-powered humanoid robot, showcasing its experimental area and early validation efforts.
Roboticists at the Italian Institute of Technology have provided a sneak peek into the experimental area and preliminary validations of the world’s first jet-powered humanoid robot.
Significant modifications were made to the iCub’s hardware design to accommodate the external engines, including the creation of a new titanium spine and the addition of heat-resistant covers for protection. Built on the iCub3 platform, this version has removed tendons and integrated force-torque sensors into the jetpacks. Additionally, new electronics have been designed, and the control systems and planners are now of a new generation, operating at higher frequencies.A key challenge in aerial humanoid robotics is planning trajectories for both flight and walking, including the transitions between them.
