This paper reports how and to what extent the mass distribution of a passive dynamic walker can be tuned to maximize walking speed and stability. An exploration of the complete pa...
– We describe in detail the behavior of an inhibitory Central Pattern Generator (CPG) network for robot control. A four-neuron, mutual inhibitory network forms the basic coordina...

Many practical dextrous manipulation tasks involve large-scale motion of the grasped object while maintaining a stable grasp. To plan such tasks, one must control both the motion ...
Embodied cognition emphasizes that intelligent behavior results from the coupled dynamics between an agent’s body, brain and environment. In response to this, several projects h...
This paper explores systematic control strategies for the stabilization of running on compliant robots with nontrivial torso pitch dynamics. The Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SL...
