Description:
Author(s): Jeffrey Aguilar, Alex Lesov, Kurt Wiesenfeld, and Daniel I. Goldman We study vertical jumping in a simple robot comprising an actuated mass-spring arrangement. The actuator frequency and phase are systematically varied to find optimal performance. Optimal jumps occur above and below (but not at) the robot’s resonant frequency f 0 . Two distinct jumping modes emerge: a... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 174301] Published Fri Oct 26, 2012
