A Reconfigurable Leg for Walking Robots

نویسندگان

چکیده

We present the design of a robotic leg that can seamlessly switch between spring-suspended, and unsuspended configuration. Switching is realized by mechanism exploits alternative configuration two-link leg. The lightweight, does not require additional actuation, only relies on movement for engagement. validated performance prototype single-leg testbed investigated power consumption during standing, crouching, hopping in both configurations. experiments showed efficiency cyclic base height control better with spring-suspended However, it undermine leg’s position requires higher torque to maintain low height, where has advantages. Overall, switching ability allows selecting optimal mode specific locomotion task.

A leg proprioception based 6 DOF odometry for statically stable walking robots

This article presents a 3D odometry algorithm for statically stable walking robots that only uses proprioceptive data delivered by joint angle and joint torque sensors embedded within the legs. The algorithm intrinsically handles each kind of emerging statically stable gait and is independent of predefined gait patterns. Additionally, the algorithm can be equally applied to stiff robots as well...

Hormones for Self-Reconfigurable Robots

Self-reconfigurable, or metamorphic, robots can change their individual and collective shape and size to meet operational demands. Since these robots are constructed from a set of autonomous and connectable modules (or agents), control of the robots and coordination among the modules are highly complex and challenging tasks. The difficulties stem from the fact that all locomotion, perception, a...

Active Leg Compliance for Passive Walking

Previous research has shown that passive (or ballistic) walking is an energetic efficient and mechanical cheap way of walking. Therefore ballistic walking would be suitable for apphcauons in rehabilitation technology and autonomous robots. Successful application would require a smooth hip trajectory in ordet to protect respectively the patient or electronics against large velocity changes due t...

Self-calibration of three-legged modular reconfigurable parallel robots based on leg-end distance errors

A class of three-legged modular reconfigurable parallel robots is designed and constructed for precision assembly and light machining tasks by using standard active and passive joint modules in conjunction with custom designed links and mobile platforms. Since kinematic errors, especially the assembly errors, are likely to be introduced, kinematic calibration becomes particularly important to e...
