Characterising the take-off dynamics and energy efficiency in spring-driven jumping robots
John Lo, Ben Parslew
Previous design methodologies for spring-driven jumping robots focused on jump height optimization for specific tasks. In doing so, numerous designs have been proposed including us…
Elastic energy storage of spring-driven jumping robots
John Lo, Ben Parslew
Spring-driven jumping robots use an energised spring for propulsion, while the onboard motor only serves as a spring-charging source. A common mechanism in designing these robots i…
CLOVER Robot: A Minimally Actuated Jumping Robotic Platform for Space Exploration
Alejandro Macario-Rojas, Ben Parslew, Andrew Weightman +1
Robots have been critical instruments to space exploration by providing access to environments beyond human limitations. Jumping robot concepts are attractive solutions to negotiat…
A Dynamics and Stability Framework for Avian Jumping Take-off
Ben Parslew, Girupakaran Sivalingam, William Crowther
Jumping take-off in birds is an explosive behaviour with the goal of providing a rapid transition from ground to airborne locomotion. An effective jump is predicated on the need to…
