A Control Method to Compensate Ground Level Changes for Running Bipedal Robots
Özge Drama, Alexander Badri-Spröwitz
Bipedal running is a difficult task to realize in robots, since the trunk is underactuated and control is limited by intermittent ground contacts. Stabilizing the trunk becomes eve…
Postural Stability in Human Running with Step-down Perturbations: An Experimental and Numerical Study
Özge Drama, Johanna Vielemeyer, Alexander Badri-Spröwitz +1
Postural stability is one of the most crucial elements in bipedal locomotion. Bipeds are dynamically unstable and need to maintain their trunk upright against the rotations induced…
Trunk Pitch Oscillations for Joint Load Redistribution in Humans and Humanoid Robots
Özge Drama, Alexander Badri-Spröwitz
Creating natural-looking running gaits for humanoid robots is a complex task due to the underactuated degree of freedom in the trunk, which makes the motion planning and control di…
Trunk Pitch Oscillations for Energy Trade-offs in Bipedal Running Birds and Robots
Özge Drama, Alexander Badri-Spröwitz
Bipedal animals have diverse morphologies and advanced locomotion abilities. Terrestrial birds, in particular, display agile, efficient, and robust running motion, in which they ex…
