In previous papers, I have argued that while parallel mechanisms are well known for their favorable structural properties, their utility is generally limited by an inherently small...
— This paper investigates a novel mechanism, called DSAC for Dynamic, Single Actuated Climber, which propels itself upwards by oscillating its leg in a symmetric fashion using a ...
In this paper, we present the design, modeling and preliminary control of RHex, an autonomous dynamically stable hexapod possessing merely six actuated degrees of freedom (at the ...

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...
We present a general framework for the modelling of a class of mechanical systems for robotic manipulation, consisting of articulated limbs with redundant tendinous actuation and ...
