Brief

Pada akhir 1980-an, kumpulan DIY Shadow Group bina humanoid 'Shadow Walker' setinggi 168 cm yang menggunakan 28 otot pneumatik (McKibben) dan rangka kayu, dan mampu berdiri serta mengekalkan keseimbangan. Walaupun gagal berjalan di Robot Olympics 1990, projek itu melahirkan syarikat Shadow Robot yang kemudian menumpukan pada tangan robotik berketepatan tinggi.

Why It Matters

Ia menunjukkan alternatif aktuasi (otot pneumatik) dalam reka bentuk humanoid dan nilai inovasi DIY yang menyumbang kepada pembangunan tangan robotik berketepatan tinggi.
