Abstract Walking, running and hopping are based on self-stabilizing oscillatory activity. In contrast, aiming movements serve to direct a limb to a desired location and demand a qu...
: This paper describes experiments with an electrically actuated one legged hopping robot, the ARL Monopod. While a spring-mass system, comprised of the leg spring and the body mas...
: This paper describes a minimalist hopping robot that can perform basic exploration tasks on Mars or other moderate gravity bodies. We show that a single actuator can control the ...

— A new 3D biped prototype with small DOF, SKIPPER, was developed. As an important component of a running controller for this robot, an aerial posture controller is presented. Th...
— While underactuated robotic systems are capable of energy efficient and rapid dynamic behavior, we still do not fully understand how body dynamics can be actively used for ada...
