— In this investigation we put forth a simple model to quantify the capacity of series elasticity to increase peak power output from an actuator. Using a linear bandwidth limited...
— We present a hydro-elastic actuator that has a linear spring intentionally placed in series between the hydraulic piston and actuator output. The spring strain is measured to g...
Abstract— This paper describes the design of a fast longjumping robot conceived to move in unstructured environments through simple feed-forward control laws. Despite the apparen...
