Bounding on rough terrain with the LittleDog robot
— In this paper we develop an RRT-based motion planner that achieved bounding in simulation with the LittleDog robot over extremely rough terrain. LittleDog is a quadruped robot ...

Crawling and Jumping by a Deformable Robot
We describe crawling and jumping by a deformable robot. Locomotion over rough terrain has been achieved mainly by rigid body systems including crawlers and leg mechanisms. This pap...

Compliance Control for Biped Walking on Rough Terrain
In this paper, we propose a control system that changes the compliance based on the walking speed to stabilize biped walking on rough terrain. The proposed system does not use the ...
