— Passive dynamics plays an important role in legged locomotion of the biological systems. The use of passive dynamics is expected for energy efficiency, self-stabilization agai...
This paper studies the mechanical configuration and the periodic gaits of multi-legged locomotion systems based on its kinematic and dynamic models. The purpose is to determine the...
This paper proposes a hybrid control method of using the impedance control and the computed-torque control for biped robot locomotion. The computedtorque control is used for suppo...
In late 2006, Nintendo released a new game controller, the Wiimote, which included a three-axis accelerometer. Since then, a large variety of novel applications for these controll...
— In this work we examine the control of center of mass and swing leg trajectories in LittleDog, a point-foot quadruped robot. It is not clear how to formulate a function to comp...
