On the utility of leg distal compliance for buffering landing impact of legged robots
Many legged robots have compliant mechanisms in the distal segments of their legs called distal compliance. One important function of such characteristic is to buffer landing impact at touchdown. However, there is still no general design strategy for it. In particular, nonlinear compliance behaviors...
