Purpose This study aims to establish a bio-inspired controller for realizing the bounding gait of a quadruped robot system presented in this paper. Design/methodology/approach The bio-inspired controller is divided into three levels to mimic the biological patterns of animals. First, the...

Purpose – The characteristic of static is quite important especially for the manipulator with force feedback. This paper aims to improve the traditional static model by considering the limitations such as lacking of versatility and ignoring gravity of links. For this purpose, a new asymmetric...

Purpose – The paper aims to achieve translational shaking tests on a 6-DOF hydraulic parallel manipulator. Shaking tests are commonly performed on shaking tables, which are generally used for small motion ranges and are usually financially costly. The research is required to generate shaking...
