The M-TRAN is a modular robot capable of both three-dimensional self-reconfiguration and whole body locomotion. Introducing regularity in allowed structures reduced difficulties o...
We present a technique for automatically synthesizing walking and running controllers for physically-simulated 3D humanoid characters. The sagittal hip, knee, and ankle degrees-of...

The Kneed Walker is a physics-based model derived from a planar biomechanical characterization of human locomotion. By controlling torques at the knees, hips and torso, the model ...
— While underactuated robotic systems are capable of energy efficient and rapid dynamic behavior, we still do not fully understand how body dynamics can be actively used for ada...
Abstract— Salamanders propel themselves by proper coordination of limb movements and body undulations. This type of locomotion is interesting for robotics to design robots capabl...
