— Passive dynamics plays an important role in legged locomotion of the biological systems. The use of passive dynamics is expected for energy efficiency, self-stabilization agai...
— Evolutionary optimization of a gait for a bipedal robot has been studied, combining structural and parametric modifications of the system responsible for generating the gait. ...
— In this paper a novel multipart control is developed for a trotting quadruped robot. The control is designed to drive the quadruped to a steady-state motion with desired forwar...
— Humans and animals adapt their leg impedance during running for both internal(e.g. loading) and external(e.g. surface) changes. In this paper we examine the relationship betwee...
- In this paper, we seek to understand how leg muscles and tendons work mechanically during walking in order to motivate the design of efficient robotic legs. We hypothesize that a...
