— Most of traditional biped walkers based on passive dynamic walking have arc feet and locked ankle joints. In this paper, we propose the method to substitute the arc feet with ...
Abstract— Salamanders propel themselves by proper coordination of limb movements and body undulations. This type of locomotion is interesting for robotics to design robots capabl...
— The real time flexible operation of a car-like mobile robot with nonholonomic constraints in dynamic environment is still a very challenging problem. The difficulty lies in t...
— In this work we examine the control of center of mass and swing leg trajectories in LittleDog, a point-foot quadruped robot. It is not clear how to formulate a function to comp...
— Modular robots have the potential to achieve a wide range of applications by reconfiguring their shapes to perform different functions. This requires robust and scalable contr...
