Legged autonomous vehicles move by executing patterns of leg-joint angles known as gaits. Synthesizing gaits by hand is a complex and time-consuming task which becomes even more c...
— Unlike statically stable wheeled mobile robots, dynamically stable mobile robots can have higher centers of gravity, smaller bases of support and can be tall and thin resemblin...

— Legged robots represent great promise for transport in unstructured environments. However, it has been difficult to devise motion planning strategies that achieve a combinatio...
— Passive dynamics plays an important role in legged locomotion of the biological systems. The use of passive dynamics is expected for energy efficiency, self-stabilization agai...
— Motivated by an error-recovery locomotion problem, we propose a control technique for a complex mechanical system by decomposing the system dynamics into a collection of simpli...
