Advanced 3D Fossil Scans Provide Clues to the Origins of Bipedalism in Human Evolution
A new study published in the American Journal of Primatology uses advanced 3D scanning technology to examine fossilized bones and muscle insertion points, shedding light on the evolution of bipedalism in human ancestors. Led by Professor Josep M. Potau from the University of Barcelona, the research suggests that early hominins, like Australopithecu...

STAR1 Robot Breaks Record with Sneakers, Reaches 8Mph in Gobi Desert Test
The STAR1 robot, developed by Chinese company Robot Era, has set a new record for bipedal robots by reaching a speed of 8 mph in the Gobi Desert. Thanks to AI-powered hardware and the added boost from sneakers, STAR1 was able to navigate challenging terrains, including gravel and grass, while maintaining its top speed for 34 minutes. This achieveme...

Humans Have Been Walking on Two Legs Since 7 Million Years, Fossil Analysis Reveals
In a new study, a team of researchers compared the discovered fossils from the Djurab Desert in Chad with the equivalent bones from humans, gorillas, and chimpanzees. They looked at the mechanics of the bones and how they were used by the species. The team concluded habitual bipedalism to be the most likely scenario.

This Bipedal Robot Can Walk, Fly, or Even Ride a Skateboard
A team of researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have come up with a bipedal robot that performs the twin function of walking and flying. Named Leonardo, the part-walking robot, part-flying drone is built in such a way that it can balance itself on a slackline, hop around, or even ride a skateboard.

Researchers Create Bird-Like Robot That May Someday Explore Mars
In research centers around the world, roboticists have for decades been on a quest to perfect bipedal locomotion in machines. They're making progress, but for all the flashy shots of back-flipping, log-hopping robots racking up views on YouTube, researchers say, there are far more failures and dead ends that the public never sees.

Here Is The New Robot That Walks Just Like Us
Scientists have developed a new robot - with human sized feet laced up in a pair of sneakers - that closely imitates the walking motion of humans, making it more energy-efficient and better at navigating uneven terrain.
