Pneupard: A cheetah robot with artificial muscles
Published on Feb 6, 2013
Each hindlimb possess 7 air muscles for flexion/extension, helping researchers understand their function during locomotion. Leg lengths and muscle moment arms are based on Cheetah's dissections and muscular pattern is based on EMG data. The robot is attached to the sliding strut performing adaptive walking on the treadmill. The only sensor used is a force sensor on each foot. Due to construction differences with air muscles the legs are asymmetric.
