— In this work a novel control method is presented for controlling the forward speed and apex height of a special class of running quadruped robot, with a dimensionless inertia o...
— The development of an oscillator controller for a quadruped robot with antagonistic pairs of pneumatic actuators is reported. Periodic motions of the legs switch between the sw...
Abstract— There has been much research into the development of robotic controllers in educational, industrial and government research labs, but limited hardware budgets constrain...
