BigDog, the Rough-Terrain Quadruped Robot
TL;DR: The mission at Boston Dynamics is to develop a new breed of rough-terrain robots that capture the mobility, autonomy and speed of living creatures, which will travel in outdoor terrain that is too steep, rutted, rocky, wet, muddy, and snowy for conventional vehicles.

TL;DR: A robot leg with a knee joint mechanism consisting of a variable reduction ratio crossed four-bar linkage mechanism (VRRCFLM) based on cruciate ligament of an animal is developed to increase the reduction ratio for large knee flexion postures without greatly reducing the total backdrivability.

Proximal Actuation of an Elastically Loaded Scissors Mechanism for the Leg Design of a Quadruped Robot
Muhammad Hamza Asif Nizami,Zaid Ahsan Shah,Yasar Ayaz,Muhammad Jawad Khan,Sara Ali,Muhammad Naveed,Khalid Akhtar,Darren Dancey,Raheel Nawaz +8 more
TL;DR: This proposed leg utilizes the increased mechanical advantage of the scissors mechanism to ’amplify’ input angles to larger output displacement by the knee joint, and achieves increased motion speed as compared to the SLP mechanism.

- 26 Mar 1986
TL;DR: Legged Robots that Balance as discussed by the authors describes the study of physical machines that run and balance on just one leg, including analysis, computer simulation, and laboratory experiments, and reveals that control of such machines is not particularly difficult.

Trotting, pacing and bounding by a quadruped robot
TL;DR: It is found that each of the gaits that use the legs in pairs can be transformed into a common underlying gait, a virtual biped gait: a single set of control algorithms produce all three gaits, with modest parameter variations between them.

Symmetry in running
TL;DR: Measurements of running in the cat and human show that the feet and body sometimes move as predicted by the even and odd symmetry functions.
Design of Statically Stable Walking Robot: A Review
TL;DR: Different vehicle configurations as well as leg mechanisms which are already explored by researchers are reviewed and the author hopes that this will serve as a brief account of previous research efforts and help future walking robot designers to develop more sophisticated machines.
