Achieving short-distance flight helps improve the efficiency of bipedal robots moving in complex environments (e.g., crossing large obstacles or reaching high places) for rapid emergency missions. This study proposes a design of a flying bipedal robot named Jet-HR2 ( <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1"
Animals can use the maneuver of a flipping body and flapping wings to reduce the normal rebound force of impact during landing, decreasing the adsorption force required by the contact point. This capability aids aerial vehicles with landing not only on vertical surfaces, but also on inclined surface
The recent progress of an ongoing project utilizing a ducted-fan propulsion system to improve a humanoid robot's ability to step over large ditches is reported. A novel method (GAS) based on the genetic algorithm with smoothness constraint can effectively minimize the thrust by optimizing the robot'…
This paper reports the latest progress of an ongoing project utilizing a ducted-fan propulsion system to improve a humanoid robot's ability to step over a broad ditch with a height difference between the two sides. This work focuses on the methods of calculating the boundary and optimizing stepping…
