    Motors Don't Need Upgrades, Robots Can Run Faster! Beihang University Science Subjournal Reveals New Logic for Quadruped Locomotion

    Professor Shi Qing's team from Beijing Institute of Technology was inspired by the high-speed running mechanism of the elephant shrew. They designed a micro quadruped robot named FLEXOR equipped with a dual-joint coupled spine. Through dynamic spine-leg coordination, the robot achieved a 31.6% increase in speed and a 32.2% reduction in energy consumption without upgrading its motors. The study reveals the critical role of the timing coordination between the spine and legs in locomotion performance and verifies the universality of this mechanism across different robot morphologies, providing new insights for highly mobile embodied intelligent robots.
