This paper presents the first evidence that the Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) may be “anchored” in our recently designed compliant leg hexapod robot, RHex. Experimentally measured RHex center of mass trajectories are fit to the SLIP model and an analysis of the fitting error is performed. The fitting results are corroborated by numerical simulations. The “anchoring” of SLIP dynamics in RHex offers exciting possibilities for hierarchical control of hexapod robots.

Evidence for spring loaded inverted pendulum running in a hexapod robot ALTENDORFER, R; Saranlı, Uluç; KOMSUOGLU, H; KODITSCHEK, D; BROWN, HB; BUEHLER, M; MOORE, N; MCMORDIE, D; FULL, R (2001-01-01) This paper presents the first evidence that the Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) may be "anchored" in our recently designed compliant leg hexapod robot, RHex.

Effects of mie vanes and tip injection on the performance and wake characteristics of HAWT Anik, Ezgi; Abdulrahim, Anas; Uzol, Oğuz (null; 2016-01-08) This paper presents the results of an experimental study that focuses on the tip leakage/vortex control of a model horizontal axis wind turbine rotor. The effects of Mie vanes and tip injection on the performance and wake characteristics of a model horizontal axis wind turbine rotor are investigated through experiments that are conducted by placing a specially designed three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine rotor at the exit of an open-jet wind tunnel facility. The rotor blades are non-linearly twisted a...
A Complete Analysis and a Novel Solution for Instability in Pump Controlled Asymmetric Actuators Çalışkan, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna (ASME International, 2015-9-1) <jats:p>This paper addresses the stability problem of pump controlled asymmetric hydraulic actuators and proposes a physical solution for it. The system under consideration utilizes a shuttle valve to compensate for unequal flow rates due to the asymmetry in the actuator. Possible hydraulic circuit configurations resulting from various valve positions are defined on the load pressure versus velocity plane and a generalized linear model of the system is derived. The investigation shows that there exists a cr...
Ability to forecast unsteady aerodynamic forces of flapping airfoils by artificial neural network Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-05-01) The ability of artificial neural networks (ANN) to model the unsteady aerodynamic force coefficients of flapping motion kinematics has been studied. A neural networks model was developed based on multi-layer perception (MLP) networks and the Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm. The flapping kinematics data were divided into two groups for the training and the prediction test of the ANN model. The training phase led to a very satisfactory calibration of the ANN model. The attempt to predict aerodynami...
An Analytical Solution to the Stance Dynamics of Passive Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum with Damping ANKARALI, M. M.; Arslan, O.; Saranlı, Uluç (2009-09-11) The Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model has been established both as a very accurate descriptive tool as well as a good basis for the design and control of running robots. In particular, approximate analytic solutions to the otherwise nonintegrable dynamics of this model provide principled ways in which gait controllers can be built, yielding invaluable insight into their stability properties. However, most existing work on the SLIP model completely disregards the effects of damping, which often ca...
