Abstract

A physical prototype of a vertically-constrained, one-legged hopping machine is presented. The machine consists of an elevated body supported by a single springy leg and a leg actuator used to manipulate the leg's length. The body of the machine is a DC motor.. The leg and leg actuator are a system of tubes and a mechanical spring that allow smooth and repeatable hopping.
