Abstract: In this paper, a locomotion mechanism for mobile robots inspired by how single celled organisms use cytoplasmic streaming to generate pseudopods for locomotion is presented. Called the whole ...

Abstract: In this paper a systematic way of representing complex cable-pulley mechanism configurations and a method to analyze their motion is presented. This technique can also be used as an aid for ...

Abstract: One of the inherent problems of multi-limbed mobile robotic systems is the problem of multi-contact force distribution; the contact forces and moments at the feet required to support it and ...

Abstract: A new analytical method for determining, describing, and visualizing the solution space for the contact force distribution of multi-limbed robots with three feet in contact with the environment ...
