Description for Dynamic Stabilisation of the Biped Lucy Powered by Actuators with Controllable Stiffness
Hardback. The bipedal robot Lucy boasts breakthrough technology, using pleated pneumatic artificial muscles instead of the customary electrical drives. This book gives a complete description of Lucy's hardware, electronics and software and reports latest developments. Series: Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics. Num Pages: 284 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MFG; PBW; TJFC; TJFM1; UYQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 239 x 166 x 21. Weight in Grams: 620.
This book reports on the developments of the bipedal walking robot Lucy. Special about it is that the biped is not actuated with the classical electrical drives but with pleated pneumatic artificial muscles. In an antagonistic setup of such muscles both the torque and the compliance are controllable. From human walking there is evidence that joint compliance plays an important role in energy efficient walking and running. Moreover pneumatic artificial muscles have a high power to weight ratio and can be coupled directly without complex gearing mechanism, which can be beneficial towards legged mechanisms. Additionally, they have the capability of ... Read more
