Robot Ranger sets new 'walking' record at 14.3 miles
Slow and steady really does win the race. A diminutive robot perched atop stork-like legs has slowly strode beyond BigDog's world record for robotic walking, making a continuous 11-hour trek around an indoor running track at Cornell University that covered 14.3 miles. Ranger, developed by Cornell's Biorobotics and Locomotion Lab, made 108.5 laps around the running track at roughly 700 feet per lap, logging something like 70,000 steps on a single charge. The untethered 'bot was controlled remotely by human handlers using a simple toy remote control.
