Active pole bending effect in pole support phase

T Fukushima, S Nishikawa, Y Kuniyoshi - Sports Biomechanics, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
In pole vaulting, model analysis is one of the key methods to increase vaulting height. To
date, the effects of athletes' motions during 'pole support phase'have been measured and …

T Fukushima, S Nishikawa… - 2014 IEEE international …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
For robots using elastic devices, pole vault is a particularly interesting task because poles
have large differences from previously studied elastic elements in terms of their elastic …

Effective timing of swing-up motion by a pole-vaulting robot

S Nishikawa, T Fukushima… - 2013 16th International …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Elasticity has been used in many dynamic robots because it can regenerate energy or
absorb collision shock. However, the role of elasticity has remained only supplementary. Its …

Pole vaulting robot with dual articulated arms that can change reaching position using active bending motion

S Nishikawa, T Kobayashi, T Fukushima… - 2015 IEEE-RAS 15th …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Elasticity is an important factor in enhancing the physical capabilities of robots. Pole vaulting

Energy and pole ground reaction force contributions to pole vault performance

TK Warburton - 2015 - research-repository.uwa.edu.au
Effective performance in the pole vault event is heavily reliant on the efficient transfer of
energy throughout the vaulting phase. The overall principle of this energy transfer is not …
