The Cornell Ranger, a walkingrobot developed by the Biorobotics and Locomotion Lab at Cornell, has set a world record by walking 40.5 miles without a recharge.
Nicolelis and colleagues have shown that a rhesus monkey in North Carolina could, using only its brain, control the walking patterns of a robot in Japan.
Pulling an all-nighter and then some, the Cornell robot Ranger set a new world record May 2 by walking 40.5 miles on a single battery charge without stopping or being touched.
