Its latest achievement has stunned the scientific community: a robot that performs a forward flip.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The complexity of a front flip<\/h2>\n\n<p>For years, robots have been able to perform backflips, as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/boston-dynamics-and-robotics-ai-institute-enhance-the-capabilities-of-humanoid-robots\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/noticias\/robot-atlas-corre-manipula-y-abre-puertas\/\">Boston Dynamics&#8217; famous Atlas<\/a><\/strong> demonstrated in 2017. However, performing a front flip is a much bigger challenge.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The main difficulty <strong>lies in body perception and control<\/strong> , as during the forward roll, the robot loses sight of the ground until the very last moment. Unlike backflips, which involve the use of stronger muscles like the glutes and back, frontflips require greater coordination of the abdominal muscles and hip flexors. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outstanding features of the humanoid robot<\/h2>\n\n<p>The impressive thing about this achievement is that, being a robot, it experiences neither fear nor hesitation. The PM01 has been designed with powerful electric motors and an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/pm01-the-320-waist-rotating-humanoid-robot-launched-in-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/noticias\/el-pm01-es-el-robot-humanoide-de-engineai\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advanced joint structure<\/a><\/strong> , allowing it <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/engineai-robotics_ai-humanoidrobot-technology-activity-7299438223594770432-8mBe?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAAEKYikgBjygh5GpRtttit6tTS7TQvMcSdSs\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/engineai-robotics_ai-humanoidrobot-technology-activity-7299438223594770432-8mBe?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAAEKYikgBjygh5GpRtttit6tTS7TQvMcSdSs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to perform complex movements with great precision<\/a><\/strong> . The robot has 23 degrees of freedom in its body, giving it remarkable flexibility to execute turns and jumps.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EngineAI  \u2014 the world&#039;s first humanoid robot to perform a front flip!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N_ALMlOipCI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Watch the robot pull off the incredible forward flip.
