Research Abstract |
In this research, in order to achieve robotic realization of creature-like quick motions, we developed novel robots based on impulse force generators utilizing snap-through buckling of elastic objects. Specifically, the developed robots are the repeated jumping robot, the compact bipedal kick-and-slide robot, the chameleon-like quick capturing robotic manipulator, and the jumping mobile robot for fragile grounds. These robots have four types of impulse force generator utilizing snap-through buckling of elastic objects as robotic elements corresponding to muscles of creatures, respectively.
