Hip-Driven Bipedal Walking Robot
Developed at the PROOF Lab, this bipedal robot is designed to traverse uneven terrain while carrying significant loads. Its hip-centered actuation controls hip, knee, and ankle joints via a mechanical linkage system, reducing leg inertia by 30% while adding extra degrees of freedom at the ankle. Finite element analysis optimized the structural components, resulting in a strong, lightweight prototype presented to senior research engineers.
