Researchers at the Technical University of Munich<\/a><\/strong> (TUM) have developed innovative technology that enables quadruped robots, such as the BERT robot, to move more efficiently<\/strong> using natural oscillation patterns. This advancement is based on \u201cintrinsic dynamics,\u201d a concept commonly observed in humans and animals. <\/p>\n\n

How will intrinsic dynamics work in the BERT robot?<\/h2>\n\n

Humans and animals intuitively adjust the stiffness of their muscles based on the terrain, optimising their energy expenditure. This principle, difficult to replicate in robotic systems<\/a><\/strong> , is now computable thanks to the new tool developed by Professor Alin Albu-Sch\u00e4ffer\u2019s team<\/strong> . According to Albu-Sch\u00e4ffer, the tool can identify movement patterns that, in an ideal frictionless environment, do not consume energy. <\/p>\n\n

To translate these movements into the real world, robots<\/a><\/strong> need a precisely timed nudge, similar to how a child gets a push on a swing at the right moment. Annika Schmidt, a member of the research team, highlights the simplicity with which humans adjust this rhythm naturally \u2013 a complex challenge for automated systems. <\/p>\n\n

The BERT robot, a quadrupedal automaton designed by Professor Albu-Sch\u00e4ffer, showed remarkable performance in comparative tests<\/a><\/strong> . When programmed to use these intrinsic movements, BERT moved more dynamically and efficiently than its counterparts using conventional methods, confirming the team\u2019s hypothesis. <\/p>\n\n
