Abstract-- This paper extends the method of virtual constraints and hybrid zero dynamics, developed for rigid robots with a single degree of underactuation, to MABEL, a planar bipe...

— This paper presents an algorithm for adapting periodic behavior to gradual shifts in task parameters. Since learning optimal control in high dimensional domains is subject to t...
— This paper presents a motion pattern generator of humanoid robots that walks on a flat plane, steps and a rough terrain. It is guaranteed rigorously that the desired contact b...
Abstract— In this paper, we explore the capabilities of actuated models of the compass gait walker on rough terrain. We solve for the optimal high-level feedback policy to negoti...
Abstract— This paper discusses the design principles and philosophy of the BiMASC, a biped with Mechanically Adjustable Series Compliance which incorporates tuned mechanical leg ...
