Discovery of fundamental principles which govern and limit effective locomotion (self-
propulsion) is of intellectual interest and practical importance. Human technology has …

Inspired by the agility of animal and human locomotion, the number of researchers studying
and developing legged robots has been increasing at a rapid rate over the last few decades …

This paper explores a design strategy of hopping robots, which makes use of free vibration
of an elastic curved beam. In this strategy, the leg structure consists of a specifically shaped …

В работе рассмотрены основные понятия, относящиеся к классу прыгающих роботов,
механизмам прыжка, его характеристикам и этапам. Представлена развернутая …

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the study of gait patterns in both
animals and robots, because it allows us to systematically investigate the underlying …

In the field of mobile robotics, legged locomotion plays an essential role in transporting
robots over various terrain types. A significant portion of research on legged robots has been …

Running is the basic mode of fast locomotion for legged animals. One of the most successful
mathematical descriptions of this gait is the so-called spring–mass model constructed upon …

Представлена конструкция пятизвенного колесно-прыгающего робота, предложена
методика реализации прыжка в виде последовательности этапов, каждый из которых …

The design of a five–link wheeled jumping robot is presented. A sequence of stages, each of
which is characterized by certain types of link motion, is proposed as a jumping technique. A …

This study presents a novel approach to the design of low-cost and energy-efficient hopping
robots, which makes use of free vibration of an elastic curved beam. We found that a …
