Effects of Foot Stiffness and Damping on Walking Robot Performance

ICRA 2019poster

In this paper, we investigated how the stiffness and damping properties of soft robotic feet affect the stability and energetic economy of bipedal robotic walking. To this end, we manufactured four different spherical feet from the following materials: hollow rubber, Sorbothane, Norsorex, and Neopre…
