MABEL Hopping

This video shows a two-legged hopping gait of the robot, MABEL, which was designed to validate a dynamic mathematical model of the robot. The motivation for studying walking robots arises from diverse sociological and commercial interests, ranging from the desire to replace humans in hazardous occupations, to the restoration of motion in the, and the appeal of machines that operate in anthropomorphic or animal-like ways. Professor Grizzle and his graduate students are developing algorithms that give bipedal robots a sense of balance, just like humans.
