A passive 2DOF walker: Finding gait cycles using virtual holonomic constraints
— A planar compass-like biped on a shallow slope is the simplest model of a passive walker. It is a two-degrees-offreedom impulsive mechanical system known to possess periodic so...

Optimized passive dynamics improve transparency of haptic devices
For haptic devices, compensation of the robot's gravity is a frequent strategy with the aim to reduce interaction forces between robot and human in zero-impedance control. How...

The impact of jointly evolving robot morphology and control on adaptation rate
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...
