Tendon‐Driven Auxetic Tubular Springs for Resilient Hopping Robots

Tendon‐Driven Auxetic Tubular Springs for Resilient Hopping Robots

Compliance in jumping robots improves gait stability and enables energy‐efficient locomotion. Here, 3D printable auxetic tubular springs from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for rapid and sustainable hopping are developed. Because the springs have negative Poisson's ratios, they become stiffer...
