Control of a Bow Leg Hopping Robot
The bow leg hopper is a new design for a locomoting system with a resilient, flexible leg. It features a passive stance phase and natural pitch stability. It is controlled with ac...

The Bow Leg Hopping Robot
The bow leg hopper is a novel locomotor design with a highly resilient leg that resembles an archer's bow. During flight, a "thrust" actuator adds elastic energy to...

Controlling Hopping Height of a Pneumatic Monopod
We describe a model-based height controller for a hopping robot with a pneumatically powered leg. The controller explicitly models variation in the leg angle and height. Using an ...

Control of hopping speed and height over unknown rough terrain using a single actuator
— We present a method for controlling the forward speed and the apex height of a one-legged hopping robot over rough terrain, using a single actuator located at the robot hip. Th...
