ENHANCING POSTURAL STABILITY IN A MUSCULOSKELETAL HOPPING ROBOT THROUGH STRETCH REFLEX APPLICATION ON BIARTICULAR THIGH MUSCLES

Enhancing postural stability in a musculoskeletal hopping robot through stretch reflex application on biarticular thigh muscles

Postural stabilization during rapid and powerful hopping actions represents a significant challenge for legged robotics.One strategy utilized by humans to negotiate this difficulty is the robust activation of biarticular thigh muscles.Guided by this physiological principle, this study aims to enhance the postural stability of a hopping robot throug
