Description: NewScientist.com reports: www.newscientisttech.com "A two-legged robot that walks at record-breaking speed has been developed by researchers from Germany and Scotland. "RunBot" is the fastest robot on two legs -- for its size. At 30 centimetres high, it can walk at a speedy 3.5 leg-lengths per second. This beats the previous record holder -- MIT's "Spring Flamingo" -- which is four times as tall but manages just 1.4 leg-lengths per second. The robot is controlled by a simple program that ...
Abstract: Abstract In this paper the authors present the architecture of the planar biped robot "RunBot". It has been developed on the basis of three hierarchical levels: biomechanical, local and central. The biomechanical level concerns an appropriate biomec...
Abstract: The paper addresses the problem of energy-efficient control of running legged mechanisms via the case study of the planar one-legged hopper. Due to its mechanical simplicity, the planar one-legged hopper is generally considered as the basic prototype...

Abstract: Abstract This paper addresses some of the fundamental problems in getting a legged robot to walk and to navigate autonomously in an unknown environment. To understand the robot walking characteristics, a six legged robot was designed, built and test...

Abstract: Abstract In this paper we presented a novel, agile robot mechanism, which we call a rotopod, which combines aspects of wheeled and legged locomotion. A general description of how a tripedal rotopod can be made to step, rotating the mechanism about o...
