Features

Materials used

Kangaroo is lightweight with low moving inertia, which allows better impact resilience and reduced energy consumption.

Features

Actuators and transmissions

The use of custom linear actuators with integrated force sensors provides a wide range of motion as well as high speed and torques at the joints.

Features

Design

Having motors close to the body, make it easier in order to move smoothly. In addition, the way parts are connected helps with efficiency, using less power

Features

Leg length actuator

Decoupling the leg length from the hip swing motions significantly enhances the robotic system's overall efficiency.

Features

Advanced motor

We have developed in-house electronics for motor control and sensor acquisition. This choice allows embedding custom and decentralization.

Features

Accurate movements

Closed loop force/torque controllers at joint level, provides flexibility for experimenting with different control algorithms and obtaining the best performance from the biped robot research platform.
