2024年9月9日 · We propose a bio-inspired musculoskeletal leg architecture driven by antagonistic pairs of electrohydraulic artificial muscles. Our leg is mounted on a boom arm and can adaptively hop on...

2024年9月9日 · As detailed in a paper published on September 9 in Nature Communications, the team’s new hydraulically amplified, self-healing, electrostatic actuators (HASELs) allow a prototype “leg” to ...

2022年4月13日 · Inspired by biomechanics, this paper proposes a leg design approach based on effective mechanical advantage (EMA) for developing the heavy-duty legged robot. The bio-inspired design approach can reduce the demand for joint actuation forces during walking by optimizing the ratio relationship between the joint driving force and ground contact force.

The goal of the project is to provide a fully open source robotic leg capable of fast dynamic movements for research and development of quadrupedal robots. OpenLeg is intended to make development of legged robots and associated algorithms accessible to hobbyists and researchers with tight schedules or budgets.

2023年8月4日 · Inspired by the simplified human leg structure, we present a 3-DOF robotic leg—OmniLeg, that is capable of making omnidirectional legged locomotion while keeping constant posture of the foot.

2024年9月21日 · Artificial muscles are powering a new robotic leg developed by researchers at ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS). Inspired by living creatures, the robotic leg jumps across different terrains in an agile and energy-efficient manner.

2022年3月24日 · In this work, the concept and mechanical design of a novel compact, lightweight, omnidirectional three-legged robot, featuring a hybrid serial–parallel topology including leg compliance is proposed.

3 天之前 · To enhance the adaptability and safety of robots in human–robot interaction, a new type of variable stiffness (VS) joint was developed based on a gear and rack design, and a single robot leg with two of the proposed VS joints was designed. The influences of the gear type, rack layout, and spring coefficient on the joint stiffness were analyzed; the spatial layout status of …

2018年9月17日 · In this paper, we present a constructive framework for robot leg design, which tries to take advantage of the positive factors of both aforementioned approaches. For this purpose, we first, through selection of a template whose biological relevance for a wide range of tasks has been proven, establish a foundation on which mechanical design can ...

2024年9月16日 · Researchers at ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) have developed a robotic leg that utilizes artificial muscles for efficient mobility. The researchers say the leg — inspired by living creatures — can jump across different terrains with both agility and energy efficiency.
