Rather than create a control system from scratch each time we build a new robot creature, we would like to generate control systems automatically. I have implemented an algorithm ...
— The development of an oscillator controller for a quadruped robot with antagonistic pairs of pneumatic actuators is reported. Periodic motions of the legs switch between the sw...
— This paper discusses utilizing genetic algorithms to automatically design a suitable sensor morphology and controller for a given task in categories of environments. The type o...
A locking, unactuated knee is added to the Scout II quadruped robot and trotting gaits are studied. The mechanical design of the knee is presented, trotting algorithms are discuss...
Abstract— This paper discusses the design principles and philosophy of the BiMASC, a biped with Mechanically Adjustable Series Compliance which incorporates tuned mechanical leg ...
