Dynamics simulation can play a critical role in the engineering of robotic control code, and there exist a variety of strategies both for building physical models and for interact...
— It is generally accepted that locomotion in animals is based on a trade-off between energy consumption and stability. However, this trade-off is the result of the interaction b...
Abstract— This paper discusses the design principles and philosophy of the BiMASC, a biped with Mechanically Adjustable Series Compliance which incorporates tuned mechanical leg ...
