Six-legged robot masters walking in an hour
Researchers from Tohoku University in Japan and VidaSerimedhi Institute in Thailand developed a six-legged robot capable of learning to walk in just one hour. They used a technique based on the movement of a thorny stick insect. The robot was not given direct instructions; instead, it was taught to determine its goal of movement and choose the necessary actions on its own to reach it. This enabled it to adapt quickly to uneven terrains and to recover from losing one of its limbs three times faster than traditional training methods. Experiments showed that the robot learned to walk three times faster, reducing both the time and cost involved in training new robots by integrating general knowledge and device characteristics.
