Passive Dynamics Explain Quadrupedal Walking, Trotting, and Tölting.
This paper presents a simplistic passive dynamic model that is able to create realistic quadrupedal walking, tölting, and trotting motions. The model is inspired by the bipedal spring loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model and consists of a distributed mass on four massless legs. Each of the legs is either in ground contact, retracted for swing, or is ready for touch down with a predefined angle...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Quadrupedal Walking
LOCOMOTION involves the harmonious activity of the entire animal depending especially on the co-ordinated action of the muscles, bones, nervous system and sense organs. A study of animal motion therefore deals with mechanical aspects of the integrated action of physiological systems which are more frequently studied separately. In the present investigation a preliminary analysis is made of the ...
متن کاملOn the Passive Dynamics of Quadrupedal Running
In this thesis, the dynamics of quadrupedal running via the bounding gait is studied. To analyse the properties of the passive dynamics of Scout II, a model consisting of a body and two massless spring-loaded prismatic legs is introduced. A return map is derived to study the existence of periodic system motions. Numerical studies of the return map show that passive generation of cyclic motion i...
متن کاملFictive Quadrupedal Walking
This week Arikawa et al. find that in the small white butterfly, the sexes actually see the world differently. The authors compared the male and female eyes of Pieris rapae crucivora that are equipped with three classes of photoreceptors sensitive to short-wavelength light. In both sexes, the authors detected mRNAs for three novel opsins, one per type of photoreceptor. Intracellular recordings ...
متن کاملOn the stable passive dynamics of quadrupedal running
In this paper, we study the passive dynamics of quadrupedal bounding, based on a simplified model of our Scout II quadruped robot. Surprisingly, numerical return map studies reveal that passive generation of a large variety of cyclic bounding motion is possible. Most strikingly, local stability analysis shows that the dynamics of the open loop passive system alone can confer stability of the mo...
