The formulation and optimization of joint trajectories for humanoid robots is quite different from this same task for standard robots because of the complexity of the humanoid rob...
— This paper presents an approach to time-optimal kinodynamic motion planning for a mobile robot. A global path planner is used to generate collision-free straight-line paths fro...
We combine three threads of research on approximate dynamic programming: sparse random sampling of states, value function and policy approximation using local models, and using lo...
A differential drive robot is perhaps the simplest type of mobile robot, and the bounded velocity model is perhaps the simplest useful model of the admissible controls. This paper...
— Closed-loop, asymptotically stable walking motions are designed for a 5-link, planar bipedal robot model with one degree of underactuation. Parameter optimization is applied to...
