DIY Bipedal Robot Used Pneumatic "Air-Muscles" Instead of Motors

I would love to see this with nitinol wire muscles.

Power use would be immense and it would be insanely slow.

		Power use might be high depending on configuration, but speed shouldn't be that slow using capacitors. Sufficiently strong pneumatics tend to require quite a bit of power too.

I opened the article expecting it was going to be about clone robotics https://youtu.be/5mSE6Tkhy4g?si=tDp0DUI9OOXAwsX2

Cool... their biggest failure pushed them to find what they are actually good at.

It's robot from 1990 and no, there is no video of the robot actually walking.

A guy named Walker developing legged-robot software is even more on the nose than a guy named Karpathy developing autonomous-vehicle software.

Oh my god, how have I never noticed Karpathy and Car-Path-y? Amazing!

A noble principle, albeit not without its lamentable failures.

Car-(em)pathy... Now I can't unsee it!

Thanks.
