Design of a Miniature Short-Stroke Constant-Force Linear Actuator

Yves Perriard, Romain David Besuchet

This paper presents the modelling, design and testing of a short-stroke linear actuator to be embedded in a battery-powered positioning device. The particularity of this small (1 cm3) electromagnetic actuator is that it has to provide a constant force alon ...

A Hidden Markov Model of the Breaststroke Swimming Temporal Phases Using Wearable Inertial Measurement Units

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Arami, Grégoire Millet, Farzin Dadashi, Florent Crettenand

The recent advances in wearable inertial sensors opened a new horizon for pervasive measurement of human locomotion even in aquatic environment. In this paper we proposed an automatic approach of detecting the key temporal events of breaststroke swimming a ...

Model-Based Estimation of Knee Stiffness

Serge Pfeifer

During natural locomotion, the stiffness of the human knee is modulated continuously and subconsciously according to the demands of activity and terrain. Given modern actuator technology, powered transfemoral prostheses could theoretically provide a simila ...

Exploiting Free Vibration of an Elastic Beam for Stable Running Locomotion

Xiaoyun Yu, Nitesh Maheshwari

Most of the conventional legged robots are based on rigid body parts connected by high-torque actuators and a sophisticated control scheme to achieve stable running locomotion. The energy-efficiency of such robots is roughly 10-100 times lower than that of ...

Locomotion studies and modeling of the long-tailed lizard Takydromus sexlineatus

Auke Ijspeert, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis

Morphology is an important factor in locomotion. It may guide the control strategies that an animal or a robot uses for efficient locomotion. In this paper we try to understand the locomotion strategies of a lizard with a distinctive feature, the long-tail ...

Robot Trotting with Segmented Legs in Simulation and Hardware.

Massimo Vespignani, Alexander Spröwitz, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

This research is focusing on the implementation, testing, and analysis of quadrupedal, bio-inspired robot locomotion. Our tool of research is a light-weight, quadruped robot of the size of a house cat, both in simulation and hardware. We are currently foll ...
