Abstract
This article identifies the design considerations for a two degree of freedom (DoF) miniature robotic leg utilizing piezoelectric bimorph actuators with a specific focus on the resonance modes of the system. An analytical model was developed using three independent lumped mass models with superposition for tuning the resonance frequencies and optimizing the performance of the leg. The model was verified both experimentally and using finite element analysis (FEA).
