16in Jump of a Novel dual coupled 4-bar Linkage Robot Leg

As a sub-team lead for the Mechanical team of the Rice Robotics R&D club, I helped design the coupled 4-bar linkage of this novel quadruped robot leg. Using robotics analytical math, I created a MATLAB simulation to validate the workspace, FK, IK, and torques of the motor to ensure the motors bought could make the leg jump 16in.
