This is a video of a single actuated 1-joint robot built at the Manipulation and Biorobotics labs at the Robotics Institute - Carnegie Mellon University. By using dynamic motions, it is possible to build a 1-joint robot that climbs up a parallel chute. The test-bed is an air-table which keeps the mechanism planar.
