摘要: Bipedal robots are currently either slow, energetically inefficient and/or require a lot of control to maintain their stability. This paper introduces the FastRunner, bipedal robot based on new leg architecture. Simulation results Planar FastRunner demonstrate that legged can run fast, be energy efficient and inherently stable. The simulated has cost transport 1.4 requires only local feedback hip position reach 35.4 kph from stop in simulation.
