- compared to the upper leg module the timing belt of the second stage of the hip AA and hip FE modules was rotated by 145 degrees
- this makes the modules shorter and more suitable for the biped robot
- all the internal parts are identical to the original actuator module
Comparison upper leg module and biped hip module
Biped Hip FE Actuator Module - weight: 155g
- there is a left side and a right side version of the Hip FE actuator modules
- the left side and right side modules are mirrored versions of each other
Biped Hip AA Actuator Module - weight: 153g
- there is a left side and a right side version of the Hip Aa actuator modules
- the left side and right side modules are mirrored versions of each other
Extended upper leg module for biped robot
- initially we were using the standard upper leg module with a segment length of 160mm for the biped
- we are now using an extended upper leg structure with 200mm segment length
- the lower leg length was also increased to 200mm
- the longer legs help to decrease the natural frequency of the system
- the interfaces of both versions are compatible and all the internal parts are identical
Comparison Upper Leg Versions - Top: Upper Leg 160mm / Bottom: Upper Leg 200mm
- the length of the lower leg was increased to 200mm and a foot with passive ankle joint was added
- the line contact of the new foot helps to stabilize yaw angle of the robot
Comparison Lower Leg Versions:
Lower Leg with point contact and lower leg with passive ankle joint
- Steel pin - diameter 5mm / length 28mm
- Silicone tube - O.D. 12mm / I.D. 8mm / RS 163-9362
- Cut 4 silicone tube pieces - 2 x 25mm length and 2 x 8mm length
- M2,5 x 20mm socket head cap screw with washers and locknut
- Rubber band
