Robotic exploration in natural environments requires adaptable, resilient, and stable
interactions with uncertain terrains. Most state-of-the-art legged robots utilize flat or ball feet …

We introduce a reaction wheel system that enhances the balancing capabilities and stability
of quadrupedal robots during challenging locomotion tasks. Inspired by both the standard …

In order to exert the advantages of simplified control and integral rigidity, a novel 16-legged
walking vehicle is proposed as a carrying platform based on closed-chain mechanisms …

Legged robots have come to represent a prime example of artificial intelligence's application
in engineering, thanks to their enhanced mobility and adaptability across complex terrains …

The paper proposes a novel multi-legged robot with pitch adjustive units aiming at obstacle
surmounting. With only 6 degrees of freedom, the robot with 16 mechanical legs walks …

Robotic Hopping is challenging from the perspective of both modeling the dynamics as well
as the mechanical design due to the short period of ground contact in which to actuate on …

Hopping motion is a prerequisite for running motion, and thus, there have been various
approaches for running and/or hopping motion. However, no methods provide an optimal …

For fast-moving legged robots, the ability to stop rapidly is essential if they are to move safely
through unpredictable environments. There is a trade-off between stability and rapidity …

This article mainly introduces a dynamically stabilized and balanced point-footed bipedal
robot, which we named MPLBR (Multi-locomotion Parallel-Legged Bipedal Robot). The …

The field of robotic hopping began over 40 years ago, when it was first shown that robust
hopping could be achieved on real hardware. In the years since then, it's become clear that …
