Jumping robots and bioinspired locomotion represent an exciting intersection of robotics and biology, where engineers draw inspiration from the natural world to create machines that can navigate ...

Robot legged locomotion have been studied for decades, and legged robots are becoming gradually more energy efficient and more versatile. Adjusting the way they walk to the changing terrain allows ...

[James Bruton] is on a quest to explore all the weird and wonderful methods of robot locomotion, and in his latest project created an omnidirectional walker that can move in any direction ...

The quadrotor-assisted mechanism underpinning the movements of KOU-III was found to improve both the robot's motions and stability, reducing mechanical stress during locomotion. Overall ...

We characterize open-loop robot locomotion at multiple stride frequencies (1-10 Hz) using multiple gaits (trot, walk, etc.) in three different fixed body shapes (long, symmetric, wide) and illustrate ...

Lynx the robot dog can get through almost any terrain on different surfaces –, even on snow. This also works on less than ...

A robot being developed in China is trying to show how the use of rotors in bipedal robots could improve their two-legged walking abilities ...

Traditional methods of locomotion are largely useless up high in the trees, so another method was needed. The avocado robot is instead tethered to a cable which is affixed to a high branch on a ...

By observing how the robots respond to various surfaces, the team can gather valuable data on locomotion mechanics. Researchers are particularly interested in how early fish might have altered ...

Maxon has launched a range of back-drivable electromechanical joints for humanoid, quadruped and other mobile autonomous ...
