This paper presents the addition of two models for added mass to the fluid-field spring-loaded inverted pendulum (FF-SLIP) Model for legged swimming. The relative ability of these models to capture the increased fluid forces due to virtual mass displacement is evaluated using a two-legged swimming r
The seafloor is a complex environment and it is challenging to conduct detailed mapping, soil composition sampling, and habitat characterization missions in this benthic region. As a step toward overcoming these challenges, we present a quadruped robot capable of walking on the seafloor and maneuver
Legged animals have developed a variety of modes of locomotion to adapt to the diverse and unknown terrain challenges posed in the natural world. Legged robots, however, have been largely limited to specializing in one domain, with few that have endeavored to bridge the gap between two. In this work…
