Innovative Shins Turn Quadrupedal Robot Biped - IEEE Spectrum
At the 2022 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2022) in Kyoto, Japan, last week, researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), in Massachusetts, and ShanghaiTech University presented a generalizable method whereby an off-the-shelf quadruped robot can turn into a biped with some clever software and...
A bipedal walking robot that can fly, slackline, and skateboard
Oct 6, 2021 · We present the design and control of a multimodal locomotion robotic platform called LEONARDO, which bridges the gap between two different locomotion regimes of flying and walking using synchronized control of distributed electric thrusters and a pair of multijoint legs.
The “simplest” hip-actuated bipedal robot consisting of only two rigid bodies and containing only one actuator, exhibiting open-loop stable walking, self-starting, and left and right steering.
Bipedal Robots Are Learning To Move With Arms as Well as Legs
Apr 1, 2021 · Roboticists from TUM in Germany (with support from the German Research Foundation) have recently given their humanoid robot LOLA some major upgrades to make this kind of multi-contact locomotion possible. While it’s still in the early stages, it’s already some of the most human-like bipedal locomotion we’ve seen.
The intelligent biped robot AIRO: System overview and …
Abstract: In order to verify the omnidirectional walking theory and to meet the requirements of rapid prototyping and economy, a bipedal robot system AIRO based on commercial servo motor-driven joints is designed and implemented. Compared with other motor-driven biped robots of the same size, the structure body of AIRO is lighter, and the leg ...
Demonstrating a Robust Walking Algorithm for Underactuated Bipedal …
Mar 4, 2024 · This work explores an innovative algorithm designed to enhance the mobility of underactuated bipedal robots across challenging terrains, especially when navigating through spaces with constrained opportunities for foot support, like steps or stairs.
LEONARDO, the bipedal robot, can ride a skateboard and ... - ScienceDaily
Oct 6, 2021 · Researchers at Caltech have built a bipedal robot that combines walking with flying to create a new type of locomotion, making it exceptionally nimble and capable of complex movements.
Jan 26, 2024 · With an emphasis on small-turning human bipedal movements, we have developed a biohybrid robot with two legs and cultured skeletal muscle tissue for driving. The robot achieved forward and stop motions and more fine-tuned turning motions than conventional biohybrid robots.
Design and Control of a Multi-Locomotion Parallel-Legged Bipedal Robot …
Jan 8, 2024 · This article mainly introduces a dynamically stabilized and balanced point-footed bipedal robot, which we named MPLBR (Multi-locomotion Parallel-Legged Bipedal Robot). The robot structure is designed with a symmetric architecture, including six motors and a five-link double crank mechanism for extending the legs.
Development of Wheel-Legged Biped Robots: A Review
Feb 27, 2024 · The wheel-legged biped robot is a typical ground-based mobile robot that can combine the high velocity and high efficiency pertaining to wheeled motion and the strong, obstacle-crossing performance associated with legged motion.
