Design Principles for Energy-Efficient Legged Locomotion and Implementation on the MIT Cheetah Robot

This paper presents the design principles for highly efficient legged robots, the implementation of the principles in the design of the MIT Cheetah, and the analysis of the high-speed trotting experimental results. The design principles were derived by analyzing three major energy-loss mechanisms in...
