Humanoid Vertical Jump with Compliant Contact

Compliant Control of Whole-Body Multi-Contact Behaviors in Humanoid Robots

Effects of 6 Weeks Aquatic Plyometric Training Program on Vertical Jump 10-14 Years Amateur Children Taekwondow Pleyers

There is a substantial evidence that plyometric training significantly increases muscular strength and vertical jump. Due to the vigorous nature of this type of training, however, there is a risk of incurring musculoskeletal injuries. Therefore, conducting plyometric exercise programs in an aquatic environment might lead to significant improvements in vertical jump with possibly a lower risk of...

Balancing of humanoid robot using contact force/moment control by task-oriented whole body control framework

Balancing control of humanoid robots is of great importance since it is a necessary functionality not only for maintaining a certain position without falling, but also for walking and running. For position controlled robots, the force/torque sensors at each foot are utilized to measure the contact forces and moments, and these values are used to compute the joint angles to be commanded for bala...

Rigid vs compliant contact: An experimental study on biped walking

In this paper, the main goal is to present an experimental comparison of the two prevailing contact modeling approaches of the bipedal locomotion, i. e. rigid versus compliant contact model. To do this, first, an explicit dynamics model for the robot multibody with rigid model of contact for various phases of walking is developed. Then, in order to develop a model with compliant contact, a phys...
