Design of a bipedal robot for rapid acceleration and braking manoeuvres

Animals in nature are capable of performing rapid acceleration and braking manoeuvres with ease. However, they have been avoided by researchers due to the complexities of this motion. To investigate and test novel control schemes for such motions, a highly agile mechanical robot is required. The aim...
