— Bipedal walking could be implemented into a robot by mimicking spring-like leg behaviour. The fundamental model, describing human-like leg function in walking is the bipedal sp...
— Many critical elements for statically stable walking for legged robots have been known for a long time, including stability criteria based on support polygons, good foothold se...

— There is much to gain from providing walking machines with passive dynamics, e.g. by including compliant elements in the structure. These elements can offer interesting propert...
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 ...

In our previous work we have shown that walking can be implemented on quadrupeds with sti legs and only one actuated degree of freedom in the hip, based on the concept of controll...
