SpaceHopper: A Small-Scale Legged Robot for Exploring Low-Gravity Celestial Bodies
Alexander Spiridonov, Fabio Buehler, Moriz Berclaz +12
We present SpaceHopper, a three-legged, small-scale robot designed for future mobile exploration of asteroids and moons. The robot weighs 5.2kg and has a body size of 245mm while u…
Pedipulate: Enabling Manipulation Skills using a Quadruped Robot's Leg
Philip Arm, Mayank Mittal, Hendrik Kolvenbach +1
Legged robots have the potential to become vital in maintenance, home support, and exploration scenarios. In order to interact with and manipulate their environments, most legged r…
Scientific Exploration of Challenging Planetary Analog Environments with a Team of Legged Robots
Philip Arm, Gabriel Waibel, Jan Preisig +8
The interest in exploring planetary bodies for scientific investigation and in-situ resource utilization is ever-rising. Yet, many sites of interest are inaccessible to state-of-th…
Learning-based Design and Control for Quadrupedal Robots with Parallel-Elastic Actuators
Filip Bjelonic, Joonho Lee, Philip Arm +4
Parallel-elastic joints can improve the efficiency and strength of robots by assisting the actuators with additional torques. For these benefits to be realized, a spring needs to b…
