  • Abstract
    A new posture control method for a hopping robot has been proposed in this paper. The motion of the hopping robot can be approximated by a hybrid system composed of two linear systems for the stance phase and the flight phase, and two phase transition maps for touchdown and lift-off events. We have shown that the whole system can be stabilized by properly selected linear feedback laws for those linear systems. The effectiveness of the method has been shown by simulations and experiments.
