Energy-Efficient Design and Control of a Vibro-Driven Robot (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Liu, P., Neumann, G., Fu, Q., Pearson, S., & Yu, H. (2018). Energy-Efficient Design and Control of a Vibro-Driven Robot. In 2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS). https://doi.org/10.1109/iros.2018.8594322

Vibro-driven robotic (VDR) systems use stick-slip motions for locomotion. Due to the underactuated nature of the system, efficient design and control are still open problems. We present a new energy preserving design based on a spring-augmented pendu... Read More about Energy-Efficient Design and Control of a Vibro-Driven Robot.
