According to reports, the joint research team of the University of Michigan and the Southern University of Science and Technology recently made a breakthrough, successfully allowing the Yushu Go1 robot dog to master the skills of kicking skateboards by mixing autonomous learning technology.
For the robot dog, the biggest challenge of skateboarding is the dynamic balance control. However, the robot dog can not only push the board forward by pushing its legs, but also adjust its posture in real time as it glides along, and even maintain its balance when it hits a bumpy flight of stairs.
This control algorithm based on skateboard motion can be applied to the stability optimization of mobile platforms in the future to further improve the adaptability of robots in complex environments.
Yushu Go1 robot dog is able to achieve such a difficult action, thanks to its equipped with Yushu Technology self-developed M107 high-performance motor. The maximum torque of the motor can reach 10N·m, and the performance is far superior to that of similar products, providing strong power support for the robot dog.
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Hangzhou, Yushu Technology is a domestic leader in the field of consumer high-performance quadruped robots and one of the earliest companies in the world to commercialize quadruped robots.
Yushu Technology focuses on the research and development, production and sales of consumer and industry-level high-performance general foot/humanoid robots and smart robotic arms, has applied for more than 180 patents at home and abroad, and authorized more than 150 patents, and has become the only four-legged robot enterprise in China that has won the title of “Little Giant”.
At present, Yushu Technology’s business has covered more than half of the world’s countries and regions, and its products are widely used in power inspection, fire rescue, park security and other fields.
According to industry data, Yushu Technology’s robot dog products have a global market share of more than 60%, and customers include Amazon, Google, Nvidia, Meta and other international technology giants, highlighting its leading position in the global robot field.
