Comprehensive Locomotion Performance Evaluation of All-Terrain Robots
– Information about the locomotion performance of known rovers is sparse. A comprehensive evaluation of wheeled passive systems is presented in this work. It is based on a static...

Terrain generation using genetic algorithms
We propose a method for applying genetic algorithms to create 3D terrain data sets. Existing procedural algorithms for generation of terrain have several shortcomings. The most po...

A Hybrid Motion Model for Aiding State Estimation in Dynamic Quadrupedal Locomotion
— Trotting and galloping allow a quadruped to rapidly traverse rough terrain. Modeling this motion, which is only dynamically stable, is of importance for legged robot operation ...

Hierarchical Apprenticeship Learning with Application to Quadruped Locomotion
We consider apprenticeship learning—learning from expert demonstrations—in the setting of large, complex domains. Past work in apprenticeship learning requires that the expert...

Bipedal walking on rough terrain using manifold control
— 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...
