Researchers in Italy achieved a first flight of iRonCub3, a unique jet-powered flying humanoid robot designed for real-world environments. The robot was able to lift off the floor by approximately 50 cm while maintaining its stability
The Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) has reached a groundbreaking milestone in humanoid robotics by demonstrating the first flight of iRonCub3, the world’s first jet-powered flying humanoid robot specifically designed to operate in real-world environments.
The research team studied the complex aerodynamics of the artificial body and developed an advanced control model for systems composed of several interconnected parts. The overall work on iRonCub3, including real flight tests, took about two years.
In the latest experiments, the robot was able to lift off the floor by approximately 50 cm while maintaining its stability. [Read more…] about Italian scientists demonstrate flying humanoid robot
