Using compliant leg design for impact attenuation of airdrop landings of quadruped robots
ICRA 2017poster
Most airdropped cargo use a combination of one or more parachutes and an impact attenuation system to land safely. The latter adds cost, weight and complexity. However, by using their legs for impact attenuation, airdropped quadruped robots may avoid the need for such a system. In this paper, variou…
