A Foot Resistive Force Model for Legged Locomotion on Muddy Terrains

Xunjie Chen, Liuyin Wang, Xinyan Huang +3

Legged robots face significant challenges in moving and navigating on deformable and highly yielding terrain such as mud. We present a resistive force model for legged foot-mud int…

Bipedal-Walking-Dynamics Model on Granular Terrains

Xunjie Chen, Xinyan Huang, Peter Shan +2

Bipeds have demonstrated high agility and mobility in unstructured environments such as sand. The yielding of such granular media brings significant sinkage and slip of the bipedal…
