Multi-segmented Adaptive Feet for Versatile Legged Locomotion in Natural Terrain
Abhishek Chatterjee, An Mo, Bernadett Kiss +2
Most legged robots are built with leg structures from serially mounted links and actuators and are controlled through complex controllers and sensor feedback. In comparison, animal…

Power to the springs: Passive elements are sufficient to drive push-off in human walking
Alexandra Buchmann, Bernadett Kiss, Alexander Badri-Sprowitz +1
For the impulsive ankle push-off (APO) observed in human walking two muscle-tendon-units (MTUs) spanning the ankle joint play an important role: Gastrocnemius (GAS) and Soleus (SOL…

Gastrocnemius and Power Amplifier Soleus Spring-Tendons Achieve Fast Human-like Walking in a Bipedal Robot
Bernadett Kiss, Emre Cemal Gonen, An Mo +3
Legged locomotion in humans is governed by natural dynamics of the human body and neural control. One mechanism that is assumed to contribute to the high efficiency of human walkin…
