Landing Impact Analysis of a Bioinspired Intermittent Hopping Robot with Consideration of Friction

Figure 2

Dynamics analysis model of the proposed robot, where OXY (O on the ground) is the fixed-coordinate system, S is the centre of mass (COM) of the robot, are the COM of parts of the robot, respectively, are the joints of the robot, respectively, are the boundary points of trunk, and is the gravitational acceleration.
