商品簡介
This is the hefty proceedings volume representing the fifth international CLAWAR conference held Paris in September 2002. One hundred and twenty-seven contributions are arranged in sections on biological inspired systems; control of CLAWAR; actuators, sensors, and sensors fusion; hybrid locomotion; hopping robots; biped locomotion; multi-legged locomotion; systems modeling, simulation, and design methodology; micro-machines; medical systems; gait generation and stability of CLAWAR; modularity and system architecture; and outdoor applications, CLAWAR for inspection, and climbing machines. A sampling of topics: biomimetic leg design for untethered quadruped gallop, self-learning impedance controller, gas sensors for mobile robot navigation, stability control of a wheel-legged mini-rover, first hops of the three-dimensional bow leg, ballistic run of an anthropomorphic biped, curved walking with conductor-based distributed system, a passive load-sensitive revolute transmission, miniature robot control motion inside of tubes, quasi-periodic gaits in multi- legged robots, mapping of the system software for a compact humanoid robot, and a cleaning robot for spherical buildings.
