We have constructed an autonomous quadruped, Scout II, which features only a hip actuator and a passive compliant prismatic joint per leg. In this paper we demonstrate in simulati...
An implementation of a biped robot which as capable of dynamic walking by a simple nonlinear control algorithm. is presented. Four D.C. servo motors actuate the knee and ankle joi...
Abstract. This study is intended to deal with the interdependency between control and body systems, and to discuss the “relationship as it should be” between these two systems....
For any embodied, mobile, autonomous agent it is essential to control its actuators appropriately for the faced task. This holds for natural organisms as well as for robots. If sev...
— There is much to gain from providing walking machines with passive dynamics, e.g. by including compliant elements in the structure. These elements can offer interesting propert...
