iLean Robot Climbs Itself To Climb Stairs

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 12 of February , 2009 at 4:47 am

iLean is a neat little robot from the UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab that is able to climb over obstacles much taller than itself by climbing up its own body. I can’t describe it much better than that, but the video largely speaks for itself:

UCSD also has a robot called iHop that’s a lot like iLean except that instead of leaning, it hops:

One more robot from UCSD called iFling (it tosses balls), after the jump.
