Pinbot: A Walking Robot with Locking Pin Arrays for Passive Adaptability to Rough Terrains

Seonghoon Noh,Aaron M. Dollar,Seonghoon Noh,Aaron M. Dollar

To date, many control strategies for legged robots have been proposed for stable locomotion over rough and unstructured terrains. However, these approaches require sensing information throughout locomotion, which may be noisy or unavailable at times. An alternative solution to rough terrain locomotion is a legged robot design that can passively adapt to the variations in the terrain without requir...
