Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,
