New Variable Passive-Compliant Element Design for Quadruped Adaptation to Stiffness-Varying Terrain

This paper presents the design of a novel variable passive-compliant ( VPC ) element utilized as a lower-leg implant of a fully electrically driven quadruped robot. It is designed as a slider-piston mechanism which ensures that the force produced during a foot-ground contact is directly perpendicula...
