According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on February 27, Boston Dynamics has recently developed a humanoid robot Handle, 1.98 meters high, the legs can be bent, flexibility and weight lifting ability are amazing. Boston Dynamics, a company owned by Google's parent company Alphabet, recently unveiled the true face of its latest development of robots. Called Handle, this robot is a wheeled humanoid robot that can carry heavy loads, can squat, and even jump over obstacles. The Handle has an upright height of 6.5 feet (about 1.98 meters) and a speed of 9 miles (about 14.48 kilometers) and a vertical jump height of 4 feet (about 1.22 meters). It relies on electricity to run both electric and hydraulic devices, charging for 15 miles (about 24 kilometers). According to Boston Dynamics, the development of the Handle robot is based on the dynamics, balance and movement principles of the four-legged and biped robots previously developed by the company. However, the Handle has only 10 drive joints, and its construction is obviously much simpler than previous robots. Boston Dynamics also said that the wheels can be fully effective on a flat surface, and the legs can be flexibly to any destination. And by combining the two together, Handle will get the best of both worlds. In addition, the Handle features an automatic balance that prevents itself from falling when walking around. Although Handle's appearance is weird, it has amazing agility. Compared with the predecessor robots that walk with their legs, it is a shame. Although Boston Dynamics has not officially unveiled the robot, a video shared by venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson on the YouTube site has given the public a sneak peek. In the video, Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert laughs and says that Handle can cause "a nightmare." The Handle stands on two small wheels with the knee joints pointing backwards; the upper body is equipped with two arms, and the elbow points in the opposite direction to the knee joint; it can be switched from a braided shape to a sitting or upright position. Even if its upper body is cumbersome, it will not fall. Handle is named after its work, and its original intention is to carry goods. As can be seen in the video, Handle can play a big role in a warehouse-like location, it can easily bend down the lifting weights and carry them to their destination. As Raibert said, a small step can hold a very heavy object. Pull and decoration are the cord's functions. Blinds Cord WUXI MIFUN INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO.,LTD , https://www.mifunblind.com
