Abstract— Humanoid robots are appealing due to their inherent dexterity. However, these potential benefits may only be realized if the corresponding motion synthesis procedure i...
Abstract— Kinodynamic planning algorithms have the potential to find feasible control trajectories which accomplish a task even in very nonlinear or constrained dynamical system...
Abstract-- Existing high-dimensional motion planning algorithms are simultaneously overpowered and underpowered. In domains sparsely populated by obstacles, the heuristics used by ...

Abstract— The passive dynamic walker (PDW) has a remarkable characteristic that it realizes cyclic locomotion without planning the joint trajectories. However, it cannot control ...
To meet the objectives of many future missions, robots will need to be adaptable and reconfigurable. A concept for such a robotic system has been proposed previously based on usin...
