you you you so the general goal of our lab is to understand the locomotion aspect of animals and recently we are focusing on quadruped air and four-legged animals and we try to understand how how they efficiently run on the field and nature so that we can take that inspiration and then use in our engineering world so for example we can create our prosthetic legs out of that technology or it can even make a new transportation replacing cars so that you don't need a road in our world cheetah is the fastest four-legged animal in the world and then we would like to make our robot blond fast like a cheetah when we started with our robot we started to look at cheetahs motion and applied its principles to our mechanical version of a cheetah currently our robot cheetah can run up to ten mile per hour and jump over directories centimeter high obstacle so previously most legged robots are powered by internal combustion engine and then hydraulic transmission and those are very noisy and very inefficient but people believe that internal combustion engine hydraulics are only way to make a lego robot runs and support itself people believe that electric motors are not powerful enough so this is the first time we shows that electrically powered roller can run and jump over all the tight off circles in order to build a dynamic robot like a cheetah we had to develop everything on the robot including borers control system and control abilities because previous robot technology is focused on controlling static motion I think this is really exciting future where Ruby Hyatt and efficient and also powerful and then we might exceed the muscles of performance in the future
