— The centroidal momentum of a humanoid robot is the sum of the individual link momenta, after projecting each to the robot’s Center of Mass (CoM). Centroidal momentum is a lin...
Abstract—This paper presents a new methodology for the analysis and control of internal forces and center-of-mass (CoM) behavior, which are produced during multicontact interacti...
— We present an approach to motion planning for highly articulated systems that aims to ensure robust execution by augmenting the planning process to reason about the robot’s a...
