"LIVO 2" developed by KAIST...'World's First' Marathon Complete Full Course [Anchor Report]

This one diligently running on all fours among marathoners.

It is 'Livo 2', a four-legged walking robot developed by KAIST.

Livo2 took part in the full course of the Sangju Dried Persimmon Marathon last weekend and completed the race with a time of 4 hours, 19 minutes and 52 seconds, winning the medal for completion,
It is said to be the first time in the world that a
robot has completed a full marathon course.

Livo2 is a robot developed by KAIST researchers.

It is 96 by 57 by 50 centimeters and weighs about 42 kilograms, a little bigger and heavier than a large dog, a golden retriever.

The maximum speed is about 5m per second.

Endurance, which can run for up to eight hours, is equivalent to a Siberian husky pulling a sled.

In terms of intelligence, of course, it is incomparable to dogs.

In fact, Rybo 2 overtook other marathoners in this competition and made it easy to change direction.Researchers ran together around

Livo2 and ordered a change of direction to the wireless device.

Two cameras on the front and tail of the torso detected the surrounding terrain.

In particular, the course of this competition was known to be highly difficult even for amateur marathoners, such as the repetition of quite high hills, and "Livo 2" did the difficult thing.

In fact, LIVO2 has experienced a bitter taste of failure once.

In September, he entered the Geumsan Ginseng Festival Marathon and failed to finish the race due to a battery discharge at 37 kilometers.

Since then, the research team has improved its internal structure to increase battery capacity, learn to run in various environments, and combine AI technology to create the 'Energetic Strongest' LIVO2 that can run up to 8 hours on a single charge.

LIVO 2.
to be used in future delivery and patrols as well as life-saving activities in mountainous and disaster situations
I'm looking forward to a great performance.
