In Russia, the first domestic robotic dog was presented, which was created by engineers from the Research Institute of Mechanics of Moscow State University.
According to the Moscow State University, the novelty has received mechanics, drives, electronics and software developed by specialists from Moscow State University.
“There are not so many laboratories dealing with walking robotics in the world, and the appearance in Russia of prototypes of such devices creates the scientific and engineering potential of the Russian engineering school,” noted Anton Rogachev, leading engineer of the General Mechanics Laboratory of the Research Institute of Mechanics of Moscow State University. University will give a serious impetus to the development of four-legged robots in our country. “
The 15-kilogram robot, which was developed over two years, received 12 drives with a total power of more than 3 kW. Some of the components are 3D printed from anisotropic composite materials and aluminum alloys. The development is currently being tested. The timing of the appearance of serial Russian-made robotic dogs has not been named.
