Study on the Transformable Quadruped Robot with Docking Module

Study on Quadruped Walking Robot

Though development of a practical walking robot is not easy at all, walking robots have many practical advantages resulting from moving functions peculiar to this type of robots including excellent moving characteristics and working characteristics on uneven land. Paying special attention to the encouraging possibility of the walking robot, the authors have been continuing research and developm...

Learning Compliant Locomotion on a Quadruped Robot

Over the last decades, compliant locomotion and manipulation have become a very active field of research, due to the versatility that robots with such capabilities would offer in many applications. With very few exceptions, generally, robotic applications and experiments take place in controlled environments. One of the reasons of this limited use is that in real world scenarios, robots need to...

Robot Phase Entrainment on Quadruped CPG Controller

Central Pattern Generators are used in several kinds of robot locomotion, from swimming and flying, to bipeds, quadrupeds and hexapods. It is thought that this approach can yield better results in dynamical and natural environments. In this work we expand a previous quadruped locomotion controller and propose a method to couple the step cycle phase onto the locomotor CPG of a quadruped robot, c...

Applying Kalman Filtering on a Quadruped Robot

Quadruped 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...
