high-performance actuators
Cycloidal and viscoelastic liquid-cooled actuators for dynamic legged systems.
Dynamic robots are limited by their actuators. We design and characterize actuation for legged systems — including a compact cycloidal drive for high torque density and prior work on viscoelastic liquid-cooled actuators for sustained high-power operation — and evaluate them on real robotic test beds.
