This letter proposes a novel mechanical structure for traditional articulated-legged robots that uses a linkage-based approach and hydrostatic transmission to reduce the joint load caused by gravity. The wide application of legged robots is limited by their weight-bearing capacity and low energy eff
Load-carrying capability is an essential criterion in legged robots' practical application. This paper proposes an unpowered hydraulic auxiliary system to improve the legged robot's loading capability and energy efficiency. For humans, it has been widely hypothesized that intra-abdominal pressure ca…
It is inevitable for human to bear the gravitational and inertial force when carrying loads. The impact force exerted on human body is originated from the inertial force which can increase the energy expenditure and cause injury to human body. This paper proposes a semi-active hover backpack with co…
