Learning predictive terrain models for legged robot locomotion
— Legged robots require accurate models of their environment in order to plan and execute paths. We present a probabilistic technique based on Gaussian processes that allows terr...

Collision detection in legged locomotion using supervised learning
Abstract— We propose a fast approach for detecting collisionfree swing-foot trajectories for legged locomotion over extreme terrains. Instead of simulating the swing trajectories...

Learning locomotion over rough terrain using terrain templates
— We address the problem of foothold selection in robotic legged locomotion over very rough terrain. The difficulty of the problem we address here is comparable to that of human...

A hierarchical strategy for learning of robot walking strategies in natural terrain environments
– In this paper, we present a hierarchical methodology that learns new walking gaits autonomously while operating in an uncharted environment, such as on the Mars planetary surfa...

Motor control optimization of compliant one-legged locomotion in rough terrain
— 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...
