— While underactuated robotic systems are capable of energy efficient and rapid dynamic behavior, we still do not fully understand how body dynamics can be actively used for ada...
Abstract— Accurate terrain estimation is critical for autonomous offroad navigation. Reconstruction of a 3D surface allows rough and hilly ground to be represented, yielding fast...

Current methods for off-road navigation using vehicle and terrain models to predict future vehicle response are limited by the accuracy of the models they use and can suffer if th...
Abstract— We propose a fast approach for detecting collisionfree swing-foot trajectories for legged locomotion over extreme terrains. Instead of simulating the swing trajectories...

— Dynamic stability allows running animals to maintain preferred speed during locomotion over rough terrain. It appears that rapid disturbance rejection is an emergent property o...
