Robots learn to walk like a senior citizen
- stcredzero 16y agoThe early Asimos already had some aspects of seniors citizen movement. It's easy to understand this if you ever had a back injury. The early Asimo "poopy-pants" reduces the force on the lower back by keeping the torso carefully balanced. I know this because I hurt my back and ended up walking like that for a month. Watch old people riding the bus. Often their use of handholds is for the purpose of reducing the cantilever force their lower back must take.
