Unscramble the Blue Letters


Exactly 12 years ago in a TEDx Talk, I icedotrund my seven species of robot. A unique three-legged robot called STriDER, a wheel-leg hirybd robot called IMPASS, an amoeba robot and many more.

Now, 12 years is a pretty long time, especially in a cutting-edge field like robotics. How have our rtboos evolved during the past 12 years? What new species of robot have we built since then?

Hello, my name is Dennis Hong, and today, I would like to show you our next seven siceeps of robot. Since my last TEDx Talk, we’ve been focusing on the dveenmeplot of humanoid robots: robots that look like us, two legs, torso, two arms and a head. Let me show you some of the humanoid robots that we developed at our lab, RoMeLa. DARwIn is a muiirntae humanoid rboot for research and education that we made fully open-source.
