Look at the robot.., the shape is more like a toaster than a robot-legged runners. However, artificial robot team from Cornell University, the United States was able to print a new world record by running as far as 23 km ‘only’ within 11 hours.

Robot named Ranger is guided by the students using the remote control. Ranger can navigate as many as 108.5 times the distance of 212 yards / lap inside the stadium Barton Hall, Cornell University. This robot is also capable of making 70 000 steps before having to stop for refills.

Quoted from the Daily Tech News, Thursday (7/22/2010), formerly the Cornell University team has scored a record with a robot that is almost the same in April 2008. However, robots are only able to walk about 9.4 km. Finally, the record was defeated by Boston Dynamics BigDog is claimed to be able to walk up to 20 km.

One goal of creating robots runners is to showcase the energy efficiency of the engine. Unlike other walking robots that use motors to control movement. Robot Ranger appears more relaxed in a way to simulate the human gait that use gravity and momentum to help swing her legs toward the front.

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots. Robotics is related to the sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics mechatronics, and software

Robotics Short Story

The word robotics was derived from the word robot, which was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which premiered in 1921.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word robotics was first used in print by Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Liar!", published in May 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction. Asimov was unaware that he was coining the term; since the science and technology of electrical devices is electronics, he assumed robotics already referred to the science and technology of robots. In some of Asimov's other works, he states that the first use of the word robotics was in his short story Runaround (Astounding Science Fiction, March 1942). However, the word robotics appears in "Liar!"
