MANOI – Air Swimming
Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
MANOI – “Air Swimming” from RobotGrrl on Vimeo.
The motion I was trying to make was a waving – but this was what happened.
(Later on I fixed it so it was waving, but this was pretty funny)
It looks like MANOI is doing a backstroke in air! I wonder if a humanoid robot has ever been created that can swim…
