The paper: "A Guideline for Humanoid Leg Design with Oblique Axes for Bipedal Locomotion" by Konrad Fründ, Anton Shu, Florian Loeffl and Christian Ott evaluates the applicability of oblique joint axes for bipedal walking robots.
It was developed as part of the NatDyRel project (Utilising Natural Dynamics for Reliable Legged Locomotion), which aims to initiate a fundamental paradigm shift in the design and control of humanoid robots. The research project focuses on a new generation of intrinsically compliant robots that will be able to adapt their open-loop actuator impedance to the task in real time. Christian Ott has won an ERC Consolidator Grant, a project funding programme of the European Commission, for the project.
The renowned IEEE-RAS Humanoids conference focussed on all aspects of human-like robots. This year it took place in a hybrid concept.
