A Compliant Robotic Leg Based on Fibre Jamming (Abstract Reprint)

Abstract

Abstract Humans possess a remarkable ability to react to unpredictable perturbations through immediate mechanical responses, which harness the visco-elastic properties of muscles to maintain balance. Inspired by this behavior, we propose a novel design of a robotic leg utilizing fibre jamming. The research highlights the potential of these structures for enhancing legged locomotion and adaptability in unpredictable environments.
