Evolving symmetric and modular neural networks for distributed control
Problems such as the design of distributed controllers are characterized by modularity and symmetry. However, the symmetries useful for solving them are often difficult to determ...

A quasi-passive model of human leg function in level-ground walking
- In this paper, we seek to understand how leg muscles and tendons work mechanically during walking in order to motivate the design of efficient robotic legs. We hypothesize that a...

Timing Control of Switched Systems with Applications to Robotic Marionettes
Abstract We present an optimal timing control formulation for the problem of controlling autonomous puppets. In particular, by appropriately timing the different movements, entire ...
