Abstract

Based on the detailed investigation and research of the balance mechanism of tail in primates, we designed a robot with a 3-DOF tail. By utilizing zero net angular momentum maneuvering, and implementing a dynamic feed-forward controller combining with a proportional-derivative controller for our tailed robot, it can self-right from the initial orientation, and avoid flipping over after a large perturbation.
