• ITMO Researchers Create Robots That Withstand Shock Loads

  An ITMO PhD student has devised a way to design flexible robots capable of withstanding a shock load, retaining its energy, and adapting to movement on rough surfaces. The new robot’s joints are connected by flexible hinges rather than turning kinematic pairs. With such mechanisms, it’s possible to increase the capabilities of robots that interact with their environments: quadrupeds, anthropomorphic robots, and collaborative manipulators. The new design will be unveiled at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2024).
