Development of a bio-inspired knee joint mechanism for a bipedal robot (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Steele, A., Hunt, A., & Etoundi, A. (2017, July). Development of a bio-inspired knee joint mechanism for a bipedal robot. Paper presented at Living Machines 2017, California, USA

This paper presents the design and development of a novel biologically inspired knee design for humanoid robots. The robotic joint presented mimics the design of the human knee joint by copying the condylar surfaces of the femur and tibia. The joint...

Single motor actuated peristaltic wave generator for a soft bodied worm robot (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Winstone, B., Pipe, A. G., Melhuish, C., Callaway, M., Etoundi, A., & Dogramadzi, S. (2016, June). Single motor actuated peristaltic wave generator for a soft bodied worm robot. Paper presented at BioRob 2016 - IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics, Singapore

This paper presents the design and development of a single motor actuated peristaltic worm robot with three segments using a bio-inspired method of locomotion with one actuator that achieves optimised worm like peristaltic motion. Each segment consis... Read More about Single motor actuated peristaltic wave generator for a soft bodied worm robot.

Performance maps for a bio-inspired robotic condylar hinge joint (2014)
Journal Article
Burgess, S. C., & Etoundi, A. C. (2014). Performance maps for a bio-inspired robotic condylar hinge joint. Journal of Mechanical Design, 136(11), https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4028168

© 2014 by ASME. This paper presents performance charts that map the design space of a bio-inspired robotic condylar hinge joint. The joint mimics the design of the human knee joint by copying the condylar surfaces of the femur and tibia and by copyin...
