This presentation by Jawaad Bhatti, AR Plummer, and P. Iravani at the UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase explores the development of a springy-legged hopping robot focused on optimizing foot placement during traversal of rough terrain. Building upon historical work in one-legged hopping from the 1980s, the team employs controlled passive dynamics and advanced actuation techniques to enhance height, orientation, and velocity control. Experimental results and future directions aim to achieve precise 3D foot placement, validated through rigorous testing.
