Development and Test of a Model for the Cheetah Robot
نویسنده
چکیده
This project aims at implementing a close-to-reality model of the recently developed Cheetah robot [1] in Webots [2], a commercial mobile robot simulation software developed by Cyberbotics Ltd. Furthermore, a pre-developed CPG [3] will be applied to the robot to determine feasible gaits and their optimal parameters for the Cheetah robot. Special interest lies in the characterization of the usefulness of the passively dynamic springs in the legs.

On Passive Quadrupedal Bounding with Flexible Linear Torso
This paper studies the effect of flexible linear torso on the dynamics of passive quadruped bounding. A reduced-order passive and conservative model with linear flexible torso and springy legs is introduced. The model features extensive spine deformation during high-speed bounding, resembling those observed in a cheetah. Fixed points corresponding to cyclic bounding motions are found and calcul...

متن کاملDevelopment of RadRob15, A Robot for Detecting Radioactive Contamination in Nuclear Medicine Departments
Accidental or intentional release of radioactive materials into the living or working environment may cause radioactive contamination. In nuclear medicine departments, radioactive contamination is usually due to radionuclides which emit high energy gamma photons and particles. These radionuclides have a broad range of energies and penetration capabilities. Rapid detection of radioactive contami...

Distribution modelling is important for assessing threats and conservation status of species and for planning conservation programs. We studied the distribution of suitable habitats of Asiatic cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus), Persian leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor) and brown bear (Ursus arctos) in Isfahan province within and outside the protected areas. Suitable habitats of the three s...

In this paper the design of a biped robot actuated with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) springs with minimum degrees of freedom is presented. SMA springs are a class of smart materials that are known for their high power to mass and volume ratios. It was shown that utilizing spring type of SMAs have many advantages as large deformation, smooth motion, silent and clean movement compared to ordinary typ...
