In human and animal running spring-like leg behavior is found. In a spring-mass model, running proves to be self-stable in terms of external perturbations or variations in leg pro...
— 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...

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...
: 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...
In this work we develop a novel method, or mechanism, of energy transfer in a quadruped running robot. The robot possesses only one actuator per leg, for lower weight and greater ...
