Advanced Contact Mechanism for Robot Ankles

Navigating uneven terrain presents a persistent challenge for robots due to unpredictable factors such as sudden depth changes, obstacle traversal, and varying inclines. This project aims to enhance robot stability by designing and fabricating durable fiberglass-based ankles. These specialized ankles will enable the robot to seamlessly transition between quadrupedal and bipedal locomotion, improving adaptability across diverse environments. By integrating this approach, the design ensures a more sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient solution for achieving stable and versatile robotic movement on challenging terrains.
