Acrobatic Robots



A Drexel University-led research team unveiled the newest, most central member of a collaboration with Korean researchers. Jaemi, a humanoid (HUBO), embodies efforts to advance humanoid development and enhance the concept of human-robotic interaction.
Hong's lab, the Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa) at Virginia Tech, is filled with robots that would fit right into a "Star Wars" sequel. "From humanoid robots to rolling, climbing, wheel-leg hybrid robots," says Hong, as he points to the row of awards that circle the large rubber robot work out mat on the floor of the lab.
