Скачать или смотреть Gyroscopic Bipeds: A Different Way of Walking with Dr Pauline Pounds

Dr Pauline Pounds is an Associate Professor at the University of Queensland, with a wealth of experience in mechatronics research. Her published papers cover topics including aerial drones, high precision sensors and control theory.

Pauline's current research project is a bipedal walking robot she calls the "Tiny Giant Robot", or TGR for short. Inspired by walking mechas of science-fiction, the key aims of the project are to create a walker that is cheap, accessible and scalable. In this seminar delivered live to UQ MARS members, Pauline discusses the theory behind two-legged robots and shows off the current progress on the build.
