The hiccups of Hinamitetu

Friday, March 19th, 2010

You have followed the progress here of Hinamitetu, the gymnast robot now capable of doing a somersault over a fixed bar then catching itself without falling.

It should be clear here: this remarkable performance has not been achieved without pains.

You have to suffer and persevere to reach perfection.

In the meantime Hinamitetu had a few falls that would make you smile ;-) It’s funny but you won’t laugh because what this robot can accomplish remains exceptional all the same.

It’s Friday, enjoy this moment of relaxation:

Bing ow ow ow…

Failed but without falling:

From behind… and bing again:

Ouch!

Hinamitetu performs a leap on the horizontal bar

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Unbelievable Hinamitetu gymnast robot performs an acrobatic leap on the horizontal bar.

The performance is astonishing: the robot spins around the bar like an athlete before doing a flip; then he grasps the bar like a gymnast.

Hinamitetu’s hands actually grab the rod as soon as they come into contact with it.

We can’t wait to see his next tricks on video.
