Boston Dynamics has been working with Sony to develop a simulator for the SDR-3X Humanoid Robot. The dynamic simulator is software that models the physics of the SDR-3X body, actuators, and control system. The simulator uses 3D computer graphics to display the simulated behavior.
The Sony SDR-3X Humanoid Robot prototype stands half a meter tall, has 24 electric motors, a CCD camera for vision, and two 64-bit computers. By synchronizing the movements of the 24 joints on its body, the robot can perform basic movements such as walking and changing direction, as well as getting up, balancing on one leg, kicking a ball and dancing.
