Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots
A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

A Jumping Robot Driven by a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator
Dielectric elastomer (DE) is a soft material that can deform to a large degree under the action of an electric field. In this paper, multilayer DE films were stacked in parallel to prepare a 20-layer dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA).

Co-Design Insights for Mechanically Active Flexible Printed Circuit Boards Through the CurveQuad Origami Robot. [PDF]
This paper presents the process of integrating electronics directly into the body sheet of CurveQuad, a small origami robot that can self‐fold, crawl, and steer with a single actuator. The authors design a flexible printed circuit board for the body sheet: the key challenge is to navigate how embedding electronics affects the mechanical properties and ...

Jack the Jumping Robot : Pinion-based springpowered jumping robot
Detta kandidatexamensarbete redovisar planeringen och byggandet av en robot som kan hoppa. Arbetet varade under vårterminen 2019 och slutfördes i maj. Arbetet krävde att roboten skulle använda sig av sensorer och mikroprocesser. Elektroniken som användes i arbetet var en Arduino UNO, en IMU och ett flertal servo motorer. Koden bakom hoppet baserades på
