New System Helps Robots Move More Like Humans

Scientists create a control system that lets robots adjust their joint stiffness like human muscles.

The breakthrough helps robots handle different tasks by changing how rigid or loose their limbs become.

Researchers copied how the human brain and muscles work together to control movement.

The robot controller copies how human muscles work in pairs to adjust movement precision, similar to how the cerebellum of the human brain controls learning and coordination.

Tests show robots can now handle unexpected changes in weight and rough terrain.

The system lets robots adapt without needing pre-programmed instructions for every situation.

Machines using this technology move more smoothly when carrying different loads.

The advance could help robots work better in rescue operations and healthcare.

The controller makes robots more stable when dealing with sudden disturbances.

This brings robots closer to matching human-like movement abilities.
