Omnidirectional walking of a quadruped robot enabled by compressible tendon-driven soft actuators

IROS 2022poster

Using soft actuators as legs, soft quadruped robots have shown great potential in traversing unstructured and complex terrains and environments. However, unlike rigid robots whose gaits can be generated using foot pattern design and kinematic model of the rigid legs, the gait generation of soft quad…

On Model-based Adhesion Control of a Vortex Climbing Robot

IROS 2019poster

In this article, the adhesion modeling and control case of a Vortex Climbing Robot (VCR) is investigated against a surface of variable orientations. The critical adhesion force exerted from the implemented Vortex Actuator (VA) and the VCR's achievable payload are analyzed under 3-DOF rotations of th…
