Shift Robotics Used AI to Create the 'World's Fastest Shoes'
Shift Robotics unveiled what it claims is the "world's fastest shoes," which allow you to "walk at the speed of a run." The Pittsburgh-based engineering company launched a Kickstarter campaign(Opens in a new window) last week for the shoes, which they're calling "Moonwalkers." Reminiscent of those plastic strap-on roller skates kids wear, Moonwalkers use a combination of AI and machine learning to help the wearer move much more swiftly than they can in a typical pair of shoes, and without having to actually run. A brushless DC motor distributes power across eight plastic wheels, which react to the natural movement of each ankle to transition between Shift (go) and Lock (stop) modes. A front hinge allows the foot to naturally bend at the toes, preserving mobility and balance, while an electronic multi-layer brake protection system allows you to use stairs, elevators, and mass transit without fear of falling on your face.
World's fastest shoe promises to increase your walking speed to 7mph
Robotic engineers have unveiled what they claim are the world's fastest shoes - footwear designed with eight wheels that increase walking speeds by 250 percent. Called Moonwalkers, they strap around your shoes and propel you forward using tiny electric motors that power weight wheels, mimicking that of roller skates. The shoes are the brainchild of a team of robotics engineers at Shift Robotics, which thought of the idea when the founder started walking to work and realized powered shoes would dramatically cut his commute by more than half. This is because it increases walking speeds from the average 3mph up to 7mph. The team markets the tech, which retails for $1,399, for those'who have the need for speed' and see's Moonwalkers as the future of walking.
