In this study, we proposed an origami pump actuator based pneumatic quadruped robot (OPARO). The was constructed with a four-leg system controlled by only two motors. Specifically, the forelegs and hindlegs are pneumatically coupled to operate simultaneously tendon-driven system. performs pumping actuating supply air hindlegs, passively actuated from forelegs. We conducted series of experiments...

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...

most of the researches do not differentiate between intuitive critic and passive one – in the field of features, applications and methods. this critical school is called emotional or passive critics which emphasizes aesthetics. thus sensitivity is not the only appliance to wisdom but is a mean to inspire happiness or unhappiness feeling. consequently the passive (critical) school is the result ...
