Robot Brief

Walker 2 is a lightweight, modular humanoid robot developed by Shanghai-based DroidUp that leverages bionic tendon-driven technology paired with distributed motor coordination. It aims to achieve highly efficient, human-level walking gaits and multi-terrain adaptability (including climbing stairs, traversing gravel, and sloped surfaces). The robot employs dynamically adjustable joint stiffness to modulate movement precision and energy usage, enabling a walking speed of up to 3 m/s and obstacle clearance capability up to 15 cm. The 30 kg full-sized robot targets use cases from research and education to field inspections, service robotics, and industrial applications requiring high agility and endurance.

Use Cases

  • Capable of dynamic and agile humanoid walking on varied terrains.
  • Crosses obstacles and climbs stairs autonomously.
  • Adapts joint stiffness for energy-efficient and precise motion control.
  • Modular design allows customization for specific task requirements.
  • Supports long endurance walking with 25% energy efficient compared to others on the market.

Industries

  • Research & Education: For studying bionic locomotion and biomechanics, to nurture the future AI creators.
  • Industrial Use: Able to preform high precision assembly, materials sorting and able to operate in a hazardous environment.
  • Service Robotics: Assists in logistics, delivery, and human-assistance roles in exhibitions and shopping malls.
  • Healthcare & Rehabilitation: Potential platform for mobility aids and physical therapy robotic assistance.

Intro

The robot stands approximately 1.7 meters tall, weighing 30 kg, with a modular frame constructed from high-strength lightweight materials. It employs bionic tendon drive systems co-operating with distributed motors for dynamically adjustable joint stiffness and smooth human-like gait. Integrated sensors provide real-time feedback for robotic balancing and environmental adaptation. Its walking speed reaches up to 3 m/s, with the ability to overcome 15 cm steps and navigate rough surfaces such as gravel and slopes.

Connectivity

Capabilities

  • Fast, stable humanoid walking (up to 3 m/s).
  • Climbing and negotiating obstacles up to 15 cm high.
  • Adaptive joint stiffness for precision and energy efficiency.
  • Modular for application-specific adjustments.
  • Long endurance suitable for continuous operation in demanding environments.
