A Biomimetic and Energy-Efficient Leg Design for a Humanoid Robot: An Exclusively Linear-Actuated Implementation

June 29, 2026 by Junyang Wang, XueAi Li, Fenglei Ni, Baoshi Cao, Le Qi, Hong Liu, Xiangji Wang, Teng Zhang

Abstract: The mobility and manipulation of bipedal humanoid robots always depend on their legs, which account for balance and may substantially accelerate energy consumption, especially when the lower body is expected to be stationary. To this end, this article presents a biomimetic and energy-efficient design for bipedal robots’ legs and extensively demonstrates its … [Read more...] about A Biomimetic and Energy-Efficient Leg Design for a Humanoid Robot: An Exclusively Linear-Actuated Implementation
