Quadruped robot exhibits spontaneous changes in step with speed

Quadruped robot exhibits spontaneous changes in step with speed Sendai, Japan (SPX) Mar 23, 2017 - The research group of Professor Akio Ishiguro and Assistant Professor Dai Owaki of Tohoku University have, for the first time, successfully demonstrated that by changing only its parameter related to speed, a quadruped robot can spontaneously change its steps between energy-efficient patterns (gait transition phenomena). Until now, the manner in which changing speeds cause quadrupeds to ch ... more
