Why running robots cannot reach the fastest animals?

"A study reveals that engineered components in robots frequently surpass biological equivalents, but animals outperform robots in overall system functionality, pointing to integration as the key area for robotics improvement.

When we want to make a fast robot. That walks like a human on the ground, we must observe how fast animals make their thing. The easiest way is to make a mechanical robot that imitates fast animals like cheetahs or kangaroos. Then we must make a robot that moves like those animals. A robot that runs like a human cannot reach a cheetah.

In the case of the cheetah and other four-leg animals the thing. What makes the cheetah run so fast is how many touches their feet touch to the ground in the time unit.

Also, the power of the punch determines how fast animals can run. The other thing is that this big cat's entire muscle system gives a punch in that process. The cheetah's front feet touch the ground at different times. That maximizes the contact time with the layer. And that time determines its speed. Only when the leg touches the layer. It gives speed to that animal.

Cheetah uses a very much energy while it's running. And it can keep its full speed for only a short time. So if we want to make a mechanical Cheetah, that moves exactly like a natural cheetah, we must make sure. The robot makes everything like a Cheetah or horse. While a horse runs, it moves only its feet. That makes its run more economical.

The robot can look like a car. It can have four legs that involve a similar touching system. That makes ibexes impressive climbers. The robot can change between legs and wheels.

In the robot world nature gives no limit for productivity. That means engineers can make four-legged robots that have hands, and they can also walk on two legs. But the two-legged robots also can move very fast. The robot can start to move by jumping, like rabbits and kangaroos. Those robots can also start to use wheels when they must travel fast.

The wheels can be like roller skates under its feet. Or wheels can be at the hippie. The robot can use the wheels. Which they can pull in. Those wheel's perimeter can be segmented, which allows the robot to pull them in. The large-size robots can also use feet, that they can turn into cargo positions when they start to use wheels.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th
