Static Modeling

This is the parent page for various static modeling efforts relating to climbing robots and animals.

• CbotStaticModeling:

Contains initial 2D models of 2-legged structure on inclined planes. Contains introduction to the use of internal body forces for maximizing stability

• FrictionAdhesionOptimization? :

Contains 3D model of gecko/robot with 4 legs. For contact contstraints uses a 3D "Frictional Adhesion" model adapted from a 2D model. Uses a linear programming optimization to find best set of internal body forces for stability. Explores the stability as a function of front and rear foot orientations and surface inclinations.
