Legged robots display a characteristically periodic motion. Measuring and tracking this motion has traditionally been performed using general inertial measurement techniques. While...
— Passive dynamics plays an important role in legged locomotion of the biological systems. The use of passive dynamics is expected for energy efficiency, self-stabilization agai...
— Legged robots require accurate models of their environment in order to plan and execute paths. We present a probabilistic technique based on Gaussian processes that allows terr...
