Biped Robot

[MangoBot]

Ok guys, I was watching a show that had guys on these special types of stilts like really advanced moon shoes, that could ,with little effort, make someone run at 23 MPH. I was think attaching a pair of those onto a biped robot. The sensors would be sharp IR pairs Inset in it so that if it fell then it could get back up. This all ideas, I dont really plan to make this.

so you need help with?

you may just like my biped, then

(its still a secret, but I'll start releasing videos as the project finishes up)

i cant wait for that, i have an idea of what it is but failed to find much info...

[Joker94]

can't wait admin, all the bots that you release are outstanding.

It sounds like a top secret film release kinda thing. Not letting anyone see it before it is ready to be released

@ mangobot,  even if this is just an idea, you would need more than just IR sensors to detect if it had fallen.  you would need some accelerometers and gyroscopes in the biped so it can stay balanced. 

[MangoBot]

but sharp IR would be able to detect that there was an object like a floor even bumper switches would work. I am talking about a biped on little springy things that runs into stuff falls down and gets back up

[Razor Concepts]

Well yeah sharp IR works for that but what happens if you fall down 

[MangoBot]

have some linear actuators push it back up, like motors with the special gears

[Joker94]

or electric solenoid cylinders, the electronic version of the pneumatic actuator

[MangoBot]

yeah that would be cool

Have you read this page on solenoids
