Explosive Legged Robotic Hopping: Power Manipulation and Amplification via Pneumatic Augmentation
- Hybrid Energy Mechanism: Designed and developed a system where kinetic energy from the robot’s jump is stored as pneumatic energy, boosting the jumping capability.
- Hardware Development: Played a pivotal role in engineering the entire hardware infrastructure of the robot.
- Hopper Control System: Spearheaded the development of the robot’s hopper control system.
- Trajectory Optimization: Conducted optimization for kinetic-to-pneumatic energy conversion to achieve maximal energy efficiency.
- Video Available: Watch the demonstration.
