HIIIII........;FRIENDS HERE IS A HOUSE THAT WALKS
A House that Walks
A new prototype house
walked around the campus of the Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire, England.
The eco-friendly house
is powered by solar cells and minature windmills, and comes with a kitchen, a
composting toilet, a system for collecting rain water, one bed, a wood stove
for CO2 neutral heating, a rear opening that forms a stairway entrance, and six
legs.
A collaborative effort between MIT and the Danish
design collective N55, the house walks about five kilometers an hour similar to
the walking speed of a human.
The legs reguire a
software algorithm to calculate the movement and position of the legs to
provide stability over varying terrain.
The house can turn,
move forward or backwards, or change height as required and can be programmed
with GPS waypoints for traveling to destinations.
