  • Resilient leg design for hopping running and walking machines
    Patent number: 7270589
    Abstract: A leg for use on hopping, running, jumping and walking machines. As incorporated into the bow leg hopper robot, a thrust actuator provides elastic energy to the leg which is automatically released during stance to control hopping height. Lateral motion is controlled by directing the leg angle at touchdown, which determines the angle of takeoff. The leg pivots freely on a hip bearing, and is automatically decoupled from the leg-angle positioner during stance to preclude hip torques that would disturb body attitude. Upright attitude is maintained without active control by allowing the body to hang from the hip joint. The leg may also be incorporated into multilegged running robots, and recreational vehicles.

  • Energy storage device used in locomotion machine
    Patent number: 6558297
    Abstract: A locomotion device, such as a pogo stick, having a housing having a first end portion and a second end portion, a plunger being slideably connected to the housing second end portion, the leaf spring also pivotally attached to the plunger. A method for locomoting using such a device is also disclosed.

  • Deformable and elastic tensile-integrity structure
    Patent number: 5688604
    Abstract: A tensile-integrity (tensegrity) structure which automatically and elastically returns to its original shape after deformation comprises compression units (e.g. struts) ?11! connected together by elastic tensile units (e.g. elastic chords) ?13!. Each elastic chord ?13! connects the extreme tip ?12! of a first side strut to a midpoint ?15! of a center strut. The extreme tip of a second side strut is similarly connected to the midpoint of the center strut by an elastic chord.
