We present a parametric walk model for a four-legged robot. The walk model is improved using a genetic algorithm, but unlike previous approaches, the fitness is determined in a ru...
A locking, unactuated knee is added to the Scout II quadruped robot and trotting gaits are studied. The mechanical design of the knee is presented, trotting algorithms are discuss...
— Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are becoming a popular model for the control of locomotion of legged robots. Biological CPGs are neural networks responsible for the generatio...
: Scout II, an autonomous four-legged robot with only one actuator per compliant leg is described. We demonstrate the need to model the actuators and the power source of the robot ...

Gait optimization is a basic yet challenging problem for both quadrupedal and bipedal robots. Although techniques for automating the process exist, most involve local function opt...
