Brachiation is the dynamic, coordinated swinging maneuver of the body and arms that is used by monkeys and apes to move between branches. As a unique underactuated mode of locomotion, it is interesting to study from a robotics perspective since it can broaden the deployment scenarios for humanoids and animaloids. While several brachiating robots of varying complexity have Continue reading Video Friday: AcroMonk
