2A2-Q07 An Experimental Study on Passive Running Based on Bouncing Rod Dynamics with Feet : Examination on Flow of Particles in Bar and Stiffness of Feet(Passive Walking Robot)

Abstract

In our earlier work, we have demonstrated a passive running based on bouncing rod dynamics (hinged-movement) by experiment and simulation. And, we have stabilized passive running by particles in bar and feet. In this paper, we focus on the flow of particles in bar and a mechanism of feet. We realize further stabilization of passive running.
