IROS 2024poster

The human foot arch plays a significant role in bearing weight, keeping balance, and walking efficiently. In this study, we present a pneumatic arch support insole (PASI) and a foot arch stiffness-based dynamic plantar support control to reduce the metabolic cost of walking. We first obtain the foot…

A Passive Hydraulic Auxiliary System Designed for Increasing Legged Robot Payload and Efficiency

Wu Fan, Tao Liu, Jingang Yi, Xinyan Huang, Bin Zhang, Xiufeng Zhang +1

ICRA 2021poster

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…
