Dynamic Compliant Quadruped Walking
This paper presents a new dynamic walking controllers for quadrupedal robots with compliant legs. The algorithm implements a "walking bound" gait, (running bound without ight phase), requires only one actuator per leg at the hip, and commands a constant hip velocity during stance. The algorithm has been implemented successfully on our Scout II quadruped robot and has yielded stable walking for ...
متن کاملVisual control of foot placement when walking over complex terrain.
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of visual information in the control of walking over complex terrain with irregularly spaced obstacles. We developed an experimental paradigm to measure how far along the future path people need to see in order to maintain forward progress and avoid stepping on obstacles. Participants walked over an array of randomly distributed virtual obstacle...
متن کاملA Compliant Telescopic Limb with Anisotropic Stiffness
Soft limbs with anisotropic stiffness are common in nature and enable animals to solve a variety of tasks, including locomotion and manipulation. This mixture of hardness and softness enables animals to efficiently control the unpredictable contact forces that occur while performing such tasks. A challenge for soft robotics is to create artificial limbs that mimic natural mixtures of hardness a...
متن کاملDesigning Distributed Compliant Mechanisms with Characteristic Stiffness
A novel method is proposed in this paper to address the cutting-edge problem of topology optimization of distributed compliant mechanisms, which requires the design to possess both large output displacements and evenly distributed compliance simultaneously. The design is represented by a level-set model that precisely specifies the distinct material regions and their sharp interfaces as well as...
متن کاملTorque-Stiffness-Controlled Dynamic Walking
2 State of the Art Previous studies indicated that introducing adaptable compliance to dynamic walking is beneficial to modulating walking performance and extending the versatility [1-3]. However, in most of these studies, the stiffness is changed off-line. The transition of different walking patterns in real time was not investigated. Our previous study [4] has demonstrated walking pattern tra...
