Unified GRF-based control for adjusting hopping frequency with various robot configurations

Omid Mohseni et al.

Summary: This study explores the potential of Force Modulated Compliance (FMC) control as a bioinspired reflex-based control approach in generating hopping motions. By optimizing control parameters in the robot structure, FMC can generate stable hopping motions and adapt to different configurations. The results show a correlation between leg stiffness and energy consumption.

Hopping frequency influences elastic energy reuse with joint series elastic actuators

A. Mohammadi Nejad Rashty et al.

Summary: The research explores the use of series elastic actuators (SEAs) to bridge the functional gap between robots and humans in terms of movement versatility. By optimizing the stiffness of SEAs based on human joint biomechanics during hopping, significant reductions in energy requirements can be achieved.

Adjustable Compliance and Force Feedback as Key Elements for Stable and Efficient Hopping

Rustam Galljamov et al.

Summary: A new bioinspired design and control approach, utilizing a hybrid actuation system and force-based compliance control, enables efficient generation of stable hopping motions with human-like patterns. By combining an electric motor with a pneumatic artificial muscle and adjusting leg stiffness using ground reaction force, the proposed method resembles the human neuromuscular system and outperforms previous studies on the same robot in creating human-like hopping patterns.

Series elasticity facilitates safe plantar flexor muscle-tendon shock absorption during perturbed human hopping

Taylor J. M. Dick et al.

Summary: This study investigates how humans modulate neuromuscular control and plantar flexor muscle-tendon unit (MTU) dynamics to maintain stability during unexpected vertical perturbations. The results show that unexpected drop in ground height causes an automatic phase shift in plantar flexor muscle activity timing, initiating a cascade of responses including increased MTU and fascicle length changes and increased muscle forces. Co-activation of plantar- and dorsiflexors prior to ground contact improves the capacity of plantar flexors to rapidly absorb energy and may aid in avoiding muscle strains.

Response to perturbation during quiet standing resembles delayed state feedback optimized for performance and robustness

Ambrus Zelei et al.

Summary: The response of human postural balance to large perturbations closely resembles that of a critically damped oscillator, with recovery dynamics modeled as an inverted pendulum subject to delayed state feedback. Control gains are optimized for a combination of fast response and robustness to sensory perturbations.

Parallel Compliance Design for Increasing Robustness and Efficiency in Legged Locomotion-Theoretical Background and Applications

Maziar Ahmad Sharbafi et al.

Summary: This article presents a method for simultaneous design of a controller and compliant elements to enhance walking robustness against uncertainties. Two levels of extension, EHPC and CPC, are introduced with fewer constraining assumptions and a generalized application scope. The walking robustness of EHPC is analyzed using Lyapunov, boundedness, and input to state stability concepts.
