— Bipedal walking could be implemented into a robot by mimicking spring-like leg behaviour. The fundamental model, describing human-like leg function in walking is the bipedal sp...
- This paper presents experiments with a new, three-dimensional bipedal running behaviour for our Robotic Hexapod, RHex. The robot and the bipedal gait are underactuated, using onl...
— In legged systems design an important question applies to: "What can be inferred from the performance of a legged robot of a similarly configured system, but scaled to a s...
- Time optimal control method for quadruped walking robots are developed and installed into a practical robot system. Each leg is modeled as a two link manipulator whose time optim...
— In human and animal running spring-like leg behavior is found, and similar concepts have been demonstrated by various robotic systems in the past. In general, a spring-mass mod...
