— In this paper we address smooth and collision-free whole-body motion planning for humanoid robots. A two-stage iterative planning framework is introduced where geometric motion...
— In this paper, we propose a new method for biped humanoids to compensate for large amounts of angular momentum induced by strong external perturbations applied to the body duri...
