The Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) describes the dynamic walking of humans and animals in a simplified manner. However, realizing such movements by means of a combination of typical articulated legs and linear actuators has some limitations. This paper proposes a leg mechanism that accurately reflects the SLIP based on its mechanical constitution. The SLIP design based leg is able to do decoupled swing motion and extension motion. Also this study has focused on improving the straightness of extension motion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
