Abstract: This paper offers some analytical results concerning simplified models of Raibert's hopper. We represent the task of achieving a recurring hopping height for an actuated "ball" robot as a stability problem in a nonlinear discrete dynamical control system. We model the properties of Raibert's control scheme in a simplified fashion, and argue that his strategy leads to closed loop dynamics governed by a well known class of functions, the unimodal maps. The rich mathematical literature on this... (Update)
