Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced 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,

Rolling Resistance Revisited

Tire Science And Technology, 2019
ABSTRACT Rolling resistance defined as energy loss per unit distance is well accepted by the tire science community. It is commonly believed that the dominant part of energy loss into heat is caused by the viscoelasticity of rubber compounds for a free-rolling tire.

Comments on Rolling Resistance

Journal of Tribology, 1994
Rolling resistance model, developed based on rigid body assumption, is further analyzed in this paper using a simplified analytical model and experimental results. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the effect of the reaction forces is equivalent to a resultant having the point of contact located outside the zone of contact.

ROLLING RESISTANCE FORCE MEASURING

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2007
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The purpose of this work is to make a system for to measure the rolling force using a tire and a moving belt. The starting point is to establish study arguments as tire pressure, camber, divergence, convergence and steering knuckle force. The low cost made equipment allows the angles adjustment, and applied load on
