Abstract
Disclosed are robotic systems, methods, bipedal robot devices, and computer-readable mediums. For example, a robotic system may include a robotic body, a robotic hip connected to the robotic body, and a ball screw connected to the robotic hip. Further, the robotic system may include a robotic leg connected to the robotic hip parallel to the ball screw. Yet further, the robotic hip includes a motor that is linearly movable to one or more positions along the ball screw between one end of the robotic leg and an opposite end of the robotic leg.
