Pre vious work has shown that relatively simple algorithms can achieve balance on one leg for the special case of a system that is constrained mechanically to operate in a plane ( Rai bert, in press; Raibert and Brown, in press). Here we general ize the approach to a three-dimensional ( 3D) one-legged machine that runs and balances on an open floor without physical support. We decompose control of the machine into three separate parts: one part that controls forward running velocity, one part that controls attitude of the body, and a third part that controls hopping height. Experiments with a physical 3D one-legged hopping machine showed that this control scheme, while simple to implement, is powerful enough to permit hopping in place, running at a desired rate, and travel along a simple path. These algorithms that control locomotion in 3D are direct generalizations of those in 2D, with surprisingly little additional complication.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/027836498400300207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,4]],"date-time":"2007-03-04T20:24:06Z","timestamp":1173039846000},"page":"75-92","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":340,"title":["Experiments in Balance with a 3D One-Legged Hopping Machine"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Marc H.","family":"Raibert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and The Robotics Institute Carnegie-Mellon University Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr","given":"H.
