The iRonCub3 is a jet-powered humanoid robot with 2 jet engines on its arms and two on its back with turbines that can generate thrust force of more than 1000N. The latest video from Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence (AMI) at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) shows the robot lifting 50cm off the ground while maintaining stability.
The iRonCub-Mk3 is based on the iCub3 humanoid robot but has two extra force-torque sensors on the jetpack to measure the thrust forces generated by the rear jet engines. The above video shows it in action.
