Introduction • Aim: foot placement while running/hopping • Motivation: rough terrain traversal • Inspiration: animal locomotion UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase
Existing work • One-legged hopping achieved in 1980s • Researchers mainly focussed on stabilising steady running UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase
Overall approach • Controlled passive dynamics • Model and build robot as springy legged hopper • Use actuation to control height, orientation and velocity UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase
Experimental work UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase
Experimental results UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase
Simulation work UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase
Future work • Develop method to achieve foot placement in 3D robot • Validate methods experimentally UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase
