Salto-1P leaping and landing

Jun 2, 2020

The small hopping robot Salto-1P can run and hop on furniture, but it couldn't hit a target smaller than a dinner plate or stop bouncing. With a new balancing control algorithm, Salto-1P can now jump to a narrow target and stick its landing like a gymnast.

This work was a collaboration between researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and is published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, titled "Precision robotic leaping and landing using stance-phase balance", DOI: 10.1109/LRA.2020.2976597
