Intended use, per the manufacturer

The manufacturer’s words

Hydraulic quadruped locomotion-control research platform; results on omnidirectional motion control, gait planning and moving-target estimation were later used as a reference by other Chinese research groups.

Every field in the schema

2 of 33 fields stated

Imperial figures are our own conversion unless the manufacturer states an imperial figure itself. The source letter always belongs to the metric figure — a conversion has no source of its own.

The letter points to the source at the foot of the page. Fields without a figure are dashed: the manufacturer does not state them — that is not the same as zero, and not the same as no.

Notes

  • SCalf-1 was the first Chinese hydraulic quadruped robot to achieve high-speed trot-gait walking, using an external hydraulic power station.
  • Developed at Shandong University's Center for Robotics; the work was later published in the journal ROBOT, and the same group founded Shandong Youbaote Intelligent Robot Co.
