We present the first controller that allows our small hexapod robot, RHex, to descend a wide variety of regular sized, “real-world” stairs. After selecting one of two sets of ...
We introduce a physics-based model for 3D person tracking. Based on a biomechanical characterization of lower-body dynamics, the model captures important physical properties of bi...

Fast-paced dynamic environments like robot soccer require highly responsive and dynamic locomotion. We present an implementation of an omnidirectional ZMP-based walk engine for the...
The locomotor controller for walking, running, swimming, and flying animals is based on a Central Pattern Generator (CPG). Models of CPGs as systems of coupled non-linear oscillato...
