Abstract: This paper presents an energetically derived control methodology to specify and regulate the oscillatory motion of a pneumatic hopping robot. An ideal lossless pneumatic actuation system with an ...

Abstract: To carry out stable and dissipative contact tasks with an arbitrary environment, it is critical for a pneumatic actuator to be passive with respect to a supply rate consisting of the spool ...

Abstract: A simplified numerical method was proposed for computing the slip-line field, as well as the associated earth-pressure coefficient, in a cohesionless backfill with an inclined surface lying behind an inclined rough wall. ...
