By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journali sts report that a patent application by the inventors Abate, Andrew (Corvallis, OR, US); Bernards, Mitchell (Lake Oswego, OR, US); Hurst, Jonathan (Albany, OR, US), filed on June 30, 2021, was made available online on September 5, 2024. The patent’s assignee is Agility Robotics Inc. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Legged robots typically move in ways that are quite differ ent from animals. In part, this difference is due to the different actuation and materials used; typical robotic actuators have very high reflected inertia, whi ch can cause large impact forces that threaten damage to the robot’s components and can destabilize the movement of the robot. Animals achieve fast ground conta ct with minimal impact forces through the use of physical compliance in tendons, foot flexure, fat pads, and other mechanisms. While a spring-mass solution has been demonstrated successfully in robotic systems (Raibert robots, Bowgo, ATRIAS , ARL Monopod II, and others), control is a major problem when mechanical compli ance is a significant feature in the design of a robot. These robots tend to be able to walk and run, enabled by their hardware, but are less able to do more ge neral tasks due to the difficulty of controlling spring behavior within the syst em.
