  • Articulated, closed kinematic chain planar monopod
    Patent number: 11883959
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a novel leg mechanism for quadrupedal locomotion. This design engages a linkage to couple assembly that only requires a single degree of actuation. The topological arrangement of the system produces a foot trajectory that is well-suited for dynamic gaits including trot-running, bounding, and galloping.
    Type: Grant
