... in part due to thrusting actuation technology that often trades off impulse for precision. A characterization of a bidirectional hybrid actuator developed for use in legged robots is described here. This actuator is capable of precise noncompliant positioning, and storage and rapid release of energy...

... characteristics. Furthermore, Bobbert found that the human squat jump performance was highly dependent on the stiffness of the SEEs in the legs ( 9 ). While biomimicry suggests that a legged robot could benefit from these same characteristics, there has been comparatively less research into the use...
