Design and Experiment of a Bipedal Robot

The aim of this research project is to improve the design of one of our robotic leg (see https://youtu.be/2zo5aSJEjhY). This leg is able to mechanically adapt its walking pattern in reaction to a collision without any sensor or high-level control. The objective of this research internship is to update the mechanical design of the leg (reinforcements and stiffeners are needed) and duplicate this revised version to obtain a bipedal robot. Then, a testbed consisting of various simple terrains will be needed to evaluate the efficiency of the resulting robot when traversing these terrains. Experiments will be conducted to collect data about the most efficient walking gaits and robot configuration.
