CTOnews.com, August 23 (Xinhua) Micka ë l Achkar of the EPFL Institute in Switzerland has studied a new "bionic robot dog" structure, which is based on actual dog motion capture data and can run on its own without the use of an electric power system and placed on a treadmill.

▲ source Micka ë l Achkar released a photo Micka ë l Achkar said that he divided the real dog motion data into several vectors that describe the main axis of the dog movement, and then used 3D printing to assemble the final bionic mechanical dog structure. In the experiment, Micka ë l Achkar placed the robot dog on a treadmill, and CTOnews.com found from its test video that the robot dog could run with the track without electricity and would not be thrown off the treadmill.

The final bionic robotic dog has three joints in each of its four legs, each of which can be mechanically coordinated with other joints, similar to the biological movements of real dogs.

Micka ë l Achkar also said that his goal is not to "compete with ultra-high-tech AI robot dogs", but to explore robot design based on real biology, so as to achieve a "bionic control system" to maximize the physical efficiency of the robot.
