Fast-paced dynamic environments like robot soccer require highly responsive and dynamic locomotion. We present an implementation of an omnidirectional ZMP-based walk engine for the...
In complex distributed applications, a problem is often decomposed into a set of subproblems that are distributed to multiple agents. We formulate this class of problems with a tw...
— Few robot tasks require as forceful an interaction with the world as excavation. In order to effectively plan its actions, our robot excavator requires a method that allows it ...
