Jogging as a result of optimizing walking speed
Elasticity in conventionally built walking robots is an undesired side-effect that is suppressed as much as possible because it makes control very hard and thus complex control algorithms must be used. The human motion apparatus, in contrast, shows a very high degree of flexibility with sufficient stability. Andre Seyfarth and others investigated how compliance and damping can deliberately be used in humanoid robots to improve walking capabilities. The modular robot system JenaWalker II consisting of rigid segments, joint modules and adjustable compliant cables spanning one or two joints ...
