Force Sensors in Hexapod Locomotion Force Sensors in Hexapod Locomotion
Biological systems can provide useful insights into principles of design and control of locomotion that can be applied to legged robots. In this paper we review our work on cockroaches using finite element analysis to model how loads are sensed and regulated in walking and climbing. A number of biological studies have shown that sensors that detect forces in the legs of insects are of particula...
متن کاملLeg intramuscular pressures during locomotion in humans.
To assess the usefulness of intramuscular pressure (IMP) measurement for studying muscle function during gait, IMP was recorded in the soleus and tibialis anterior muscles of 10 volunteers during treadmill walking and running by using transducer-tipped catheters. Soleus IMP exhibited single peaks during late-stance phase of walking [181 +/- 69 (SE) mmHg] and running (269 +/- 95 mmHg). Tibialis ...
متن کاملCharacterizing Swing-Leg Retraction in Human Locomotion
Swing-leg retraction, the backward rotation of the swing leg just prior to ground contact, is observed in human locomotion. While several advantages of swingleg retraction, like gait stability and perturbation rejection, are shown by conceptual models, there is currently very little experimental data on swing-leg retraction in human motion. In this paper, kinematic data for twenty-eight subject...
متن کاملForce Sensors in Hexapod Locomotion
1. Preface and Introduction 1.1 Preface† The field of biorobotics has developed and flourished as a multidisciplinary interface between biologists and engineers (Ritzmann et al., 2000; Webb & Consi, 2001; Ayers et al., 2002). Collaborative work in the field initially arose from the recognition that studies of animal locomotion could provide insights in solving complex problems in the design and...
متن کاملLeg Design and Control for Fast Locomotion
Motivation: A linear spring-like leg behavior is found in human and animal running [4, 2]. Although some technical systems were able to mimic running with such elastic legs within a range of different speeds and gaits [7, 8] it is still not known why biological legs employ this behavior. Until now there is no running robot with segmented legs. With regard to the reduced contact times at high sp...
