A Tendon-Driven Origami Hopper Triggered by Proprioceptive Contact Detection (2020 RoboSoft)

2020 3rd IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), April 6-9, 2020. Authors: Wei-Hsi Chen, Shivangi Misra, J. Diego Caporale, Daniel E. Koditschek, Shu Yang, Cynthia R. Sung. Our prior work demonstrated that a REBO structure could be used to juggle (repeatedly loft and catch) a 1kg load. Here, we modify that design to achieve actual locomotion: translation of the mechanism’s mass center through a two degree-of-freedom workspace.
