Numerical Simulation for the Rimless Wheel
نویسنده
چکیده
We first examine the single stance state. In this situation, it is convenient to first analyze the system as a whole. As shown in Fig. 2, the system experiences gravity, the normal force, and the friction force. From Newton’s second law, the equation of motion for the system can be written as ∑ Fx = (m1 +m2)ax, (1) ∑ Fy = (m1 +m2)ay, (2) FIG. 2. The free body diagram for the system in single stance.

Motions of a Rimless Spoked Wheel: a Simple 3D System with Impacts
This paper discusses the mechanics of a rigid rimless spoked wheel, or regular polygon, ‘rolling’ downhill. By rolling, we mean motions in which the wheel pivots on one ‘support’ spoke until another spoke collides with the ground, followed by transfer of support to that spoke, and so on. We carry out three-dimensional numerical and analytical stability studies of steady motions of this system. ...
متن کاملAnalysis of 3D Passive Walking Including Turning Motions for the Finite-width Rimless Wheel
The focus of studies in the field of passive walking has often been on straight walking, while less attention has been paid to the field of turning motions. In this paper, the passive motions of a finite width rimless wheel as the simplest 3D model of passive biped walkers was investigated with a focus on turning motions. For this purpose, the hybrid model of the system consisting of continuous...
متن کاملEfficiency and Optimality of Two-Period Limit Cycle Walking
This paper investigates the efficiency of a 2-period gait from the kinetic energy view-point. First, we formulate a steady 2-period gait for a compass-like bipedal robot by using a simple recurrence formula for the kinetic energy of an asymmetric rimless wheel. Second, we theoretically show that, in the case that the mean value of the hip angle is constant, the generated 2-period steady gait is...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis of a Rimless Wheel on Randomly Generated Rough Terrain
Some modern walking robots are capable of walking over very rough terrain. However, these robots often require significantly more energy to do so than a human. Passive-dynamic walking robots are often quite energy-efficient, but are usually only able to walk over smooth surfaces. In this work, we examine the dynamics of a 2D rimless wheel, an often studied simple model for walking. This paper a...
متن کاملDesign and Experimental Analysis of Legged Locomotive Robots by Timothy
In this thesis, I present the design and motion-capture analysis of two previously well-studied dynamic-walking machines, the rimless wheel and the compass gait robot. These robots were the basis for my undergraduate research at the Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The rimless wheel is a real-world physical realization bui...
