The robot would have momentum from its movement immediately before landing, which would be enough to cause the robot to rotate around the new stance leg and the old stance leg would become the new swing leg. The process then repeats. In real life, if you were to stand with one leg raised before...
Hi,
This is a problem I've been puzzling over and I can't get a straight understanding of it. I'm hoping someone can explain how conservation of momentum applies to this problem.
Consider a planar 'robot' (ie 2 dimensional system) consisting of only 2 stiff limbs, connected at the 'hip'...
thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay in my reply.
to provide some more input, I want a robot to rock sideways from leg to leg. So at t=0, the robot is balanced on the left leg with the right leg in the air and the legs are splayed by about 10degrees. It then starts to fall to the right...
Hi, thanks for the welcome :)
I have sensors etc so I know what's happening in reality. But I need to design the control system and that requires some maths. Even if I'm making some simplifications, I need a solid base to start on. I saw quite a few other posts on solving Lagrangians, and...
Hi, hopefully someone can check my logic.
I have a lever with a mass on top which is rising towards the vertical on a frictionless pivot. The length of the lever can change. (In reality this is a robot rocking onto a foot and straightening its leg). The intention is to bring the lever to a...
