We present a novel approach to legged locomotion over rough terrain that is thoroughly rooted in optimization. This approach relies on a hierarchy of fast, anytime algorithms to p...

— Parametric excitation walking is one of methods that realize a passive dynamic like walking on the level ground. In parametric excitation walking, up-and-down motion of the cen...
— This paper presents an algorithm for adapting periodic behavior to gradual shifts in task parameters. Since learning optimal control in high dimensional domains is subject to t...
Abstract— This paper describes the design of a fast longjumping robot conceived to move in unstructured environments through simple feed-forward control laws. Despite the apparen...

A differential drive robot is perhaps the simplest type of mobile robot, and the bounded velocity model is perhaps the simplest useful model of the admissible controls. This paper...
