Gaits and Gait Transitions for Legged Robots
Abstract— This paper introduces the concept of gait transitions, acyclic feedforward motion patterns that allow a robot to switch from one gait to another. Legged robots often ut...

Gait transition by tuning muscle tones using pneumatic actuators in quadruped locomotion
— 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...

Gait Synthesis for Legged Underwater Vehicles
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...

Stable dynamic walking of a quadruped robot "Kotetsu" using phase modulations based on leg loading/unloading
In this study, we intend to show the basis of a general legged locomotion controller with the ability to integrate both posture and rhythmic motion controls and shift continuously ...

Generation of Energy Optimal Complete Gait Cycles for Biped Robots
In this paper we address the problem of energyoptimal gait generation for biped robots. Using a simpli ed robot dynamics that ignores the e ects of centripetal forces, we obtain u...
