Abstract: We propose a novel mechanism that propagates vibration through soft twisted beams, taking advantage of dynamically-coupled anisotropic stiffness to simplify the actuation of walking robots.

In folding its Intrinsic project into the main company this week and out of "Other Bets," Google is aiming to mimic its Android strategy for robots. "We're trying to make it accessible for anyone," ...

Abstract: The utilization of single degree-of-freedom (DOF) closed-chain mechanisms as leg mechanisms of quadruped robots has been studied because of its advantages, such as a lightweight structure ...
