Feline locomotion combines great acrobatic proficiency, unparalleled balance and higher accelerations than other animals. Capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km h−1 in three seconds, the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is still a mystery which intrigues scientists. Aiming for a better understanding of the source of such higher speeds, we develop a biomimetic platform, where musculoskeletal parameters (range of motion and moment arms) from the biological system can be evaluated with air muscles within a lightweight robotic structure. We performed experiments validating the muscular structure during a treadmill walk, successfully reproducing animal locomotion while adopting an EMG based control method. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
