The Bow Leg Hopping Robot
The bow leg hopper is a novel locomotor design with a highly resilient leg that resembles an archer's bow. During flight, a "thrust" actuator adds elastic energy to...

Motion Planning for a Class of Planar Closed-chain Manipulators
— We study the motion planning problem for planar star-shaped manipulators. These manipulators are formed by joining k “legs” to a common point (like the thorax of an insect)...

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 ...

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...

Optimization and learning for rough terrain legged locomotion
We present a novel approach to legged locomotion over rough terrain that is thoroughly rooted in optimization. This approach relies on a hierarchy of fast, anytime algorithms to p...
