Hyperredundant Dynamic Robotic Tails for Stabilizing and Maneuvering Control of Legged Robots
… and stabilization behaviors. Looking to nature, tails assist a variety of animals with these functionalities separate from the animals' legs. However, prior research into robotic tails primarily focuses on single-mass pendulums driven in a single plane of motion and designed to perform a specific …

Novel Legged Robots with a Serpentine Robotic Tail: Modeling, Control, and Implementations
Tails are frequently utilized by animals to enhance their motion agility, dexterity, and versatility, such as a cheetah using its tail to change its body orientation while its legs are all off the ground and a monkey using its tail to stabilize its locomotion on branches. However, limited by …
