Active Force Control of Inherent Passive Dynamics
Background Unlike moving animals, current robots do not maintain sufficient energy efficiency and robustness to (ground) disturbances. Current energy efficient passive walkers fail to handle minor disturbances in walking surface, whereas robotic solutions incorporating active control are robust to disturbances, yet inadequate in energy consumption....
