Back Flips with a Hexapedal Robot
We report on the design and analysis of a controller which can achieve dynamical self-righting of our hexapedal robot, RHex. We present an empirically developed control procedure ...

2D bipedal walking with knees and feet: A hybrid control approach
— In this paper, we consider an anthropomorphically-inspired hybrid model of a bipedal robot with locking knees and feet in order to develop a control law that results in human-l...
