— We address the problem of foothold selection in robotic legged locomotion over very rough terrain. The difficulty of the problem we address here is comparable to that of human...

— High-speed legged locomotion is complicated by the challenge of uneven terrain because the system must respond to the fast-changing terrain elevation under each foot, and quick...
— Although there has been an increasing interest in dynamic bipedal locomotion for significant improvement of energy efficiency and dexterity of mobile robots in the real world...
