Adaptive Control of Quadruped Locomotion Through Variable Compliance of Revolute Spiral Feet

In this article we present a novel mechanical design of a robot leg that possesses active and variable passive compliance properties. The hip and knee joints provide active compliance, while the variable passive compliance comes from the spiral foot spring, mounted on the ankle joint, which changes...
