There are plenty of sophisticated robot kits available on the market. Many of them are programmable, which means you can teach your robots new tricks. As this video shows, you can teach robots to walk on a tightrope.
Dr. Guero’s robot is based on a Kondo KHR-3HV kit. It walks across a 1 meter rope while maintaining its balance. Pretty neat, don’t you think?
