Biped walking pattern generation by using preview control of zero-moment point
We introduce a new method of a biped walking pattern generation by using a preview control of the zeromoment point (ZMP). First, the dynamics of a biped robot is modeled as a runn...

Local exploration: online algorithms and a probabilistic framework
— Mapping an environment with an imaging sensor becomes very challenging if the environment to be mapped is unknown and has to be explored. Exploration involves the planning of v...
