Compliance in Robot Legs

Refreshments 4:15 pm
Talk 4:30 pm
Mechanical compliance is an important feature for animals or robots using
a running gait. In addition, varying the stiffness of this compliance is
a useful method for controlling aspects of the gait. In this talk I will
discuss why these things are important, and show some examples that
illustrate the point. I will also present current progress on an actuator
that has series compliance with physically variable stiffness, with the
eventual goal of incorporation in a dynamically capable bipedal robot.
