Inertially Actuated Jumping Robots (IAJR) provide a promising new means of locomotion. The difficulty of IAJR is found in the hybrid nature of the ground contact/flying dynamics. Recent research studies in our Systems Lab have provided a family tree of inertially actuated locomotion systems. The proposed Tapping Robot is the most prompt member of this tree. In this paper, a feedback linearization controller is introduced to provide controllability given the 3-dimensional motion complexity. The research objective is to create a general controller that can regulate the locomotion of Inertially Actuated Jumping Robots. The expected results can specify a desired speed and/or jump height, and the controller ensures the desired values are achieved. The controller can achieve the greatest response for the Basketball Robot at a maximum jump height of 0.25 m, which is greater than the former performance with approximately 0.18 m. The design paradigm used on the Basketball Robot was extended to the Tapping Robot. The Tapping Robot achieved a stable average forward velocity of 0.0773 m/s in simulation and 0.157 m/s in experimental results, which is faster than the forward velocity of former robot, Pony III, with 0.045 m/s.

Complex behaviors are layered with processes across timescales that must be coordinated with each other to accomplish cooperative goals. Complexity matching is the coordination of nested layers of behaviors across individuals. We hypothesize that complexity matching extends across individuals and their respective layers of processes when cooperating in joint tasks. We measured coordination in a joint tower building task through the layers of sound and movement patterns produced by partners and found that partners built higher towers when their sound patterns fell into more similar relations with each other across timescales, as measured by complexity matching. Our findings shed light on the function of complexity matching and lead to new hypotheses about multiscale coordination and communication. We discuss how complexity matching encompasses flexible and complementary dynamics between partners that support complex acts of human coordination.

In this paper, the analytical conditions for stick and nonstick motions are discussed in 2-DOF friction induced oscillator moving on two oscillators. From physical points of view, the physical problem is stated. In order to develop the analytical conditions for stick and non-stick motion, the absolute and relative descriptions are given for a better understanding of the complex motions in such a 2-DOF oscillator interacting with two individual oscillators through dry friction. The analytical conditions are sketched intuitively.
