A novel robotic leg design with hybrid dynamics

• A new leg mechanism is designed to achieve optimal behaviour in both the stance and swing phases. The leg is designed such that its dynamics and kinematics optimally mimic those of simpler mechanisms, namely the spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) and the double pendulum, for the stance and swing phase, respectively. Controllers based on the simpler mechanisms can thus be used, resulting in an effective control strategy that is simple and transparent. © 2013 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
