Novel Energy Transfer Mechanism in a Running Quadruped Robot with One Actuator per Leg
In this work we develop a novel method, or mechanism, of energy transfer in a quadruped running robot. The robot possesses only one actuator per leg, for lower weight and greater power autonomy. The developed mechanism ensures correct dispersion of energy to the actuated and the unactuated degrees of freedom of the robot for stable running. In the mechanism design, we address the added problem ...
متن کاملFootprint-based Quadruped Motion Synthesis
Footprints are data structures that specify the positions, orientations, and timing information for the feet of articulated figures. This thesis studies the use of footprints to generate animations of legged animals. After introducing several met hods to generate footprints, we develop an algorithm t hat synt hesizes realistic motions of animals from footprints only. Our method employs a hybrid...
متن کاملQuadruped Robot Running With a Bounding Gait
Scout II, an autonomous four-legged robot with only one actuator per compliant leg is described. We demonstrate the need to model the actuators and the power source of the robot system carefully in order to obtain experimentally valid models for simulation and analysis. We describe a new, simple running controller that requires minimal task level feedback, yet achieves reliable and fast running...
متن کاملSpine as an engine: effect of spine morphology on spine-driven quadruped locomotion
In quadruped animals, spinal movements contribute to locomotion in terms of controlling body posture and integrating limb and trunk actions. In this paper, we develop quadruped models with different numbers of spinal joints to demonstrate the spine-driven locomotion. Actuated spinal joint(s) are exclusively employed to these models with a minimalistic control strategy. We choose some typical in...
متن کاملKinematics Analysis and Motion Simulation of a Quadruped Walking Robot with Parallel Leg Mechanism
Compared with the serial mechanism, the parallel mechanism has many advantages. Using the parallel mechanism as the basic leg mechanism of a walking robot, not only the payload-weight ratio can be improved, but also the robot walking stability and security performance can be enhanced. By combining the kinematics features of 3-UPU parallel mechanism with the structural features of the quadruped ...
