Moog and IIT demonstrate HyQReal quadruped pulling a three-ton airplane
Moog and IIT completed the design, assembly, and testing of the HyQReal hydraulic quadruped robot, demonstrating its traction and locomotion capability by pulling a 3,300 kg passenger airplane for more than 10 metres at Genoa Airport.
Evidence notes
- Moog and IIT completed the design, assembly, and testing of the HyQReal hydraulic quadruped robot.
- At Genoa Airport, HyQReal pulled a 3,300 kg passenger airplane for more than 10 metres, demonstrating its traction and locomotion capability.
- Moog developed most of the robot’s hydraulic actuation system and positioned its integrated smart actuators for future mobile-robotics builders.
