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...

— 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...
— We explore the use of computational optimal control techniques for automated construction of policies in complex dynamic environments. Our implementation of dynamic programming...

This paper describes the progress of the BIP2000 project. This project, in which four laboratories are involved for 4 years, as uimed at the realization of the lower part of an an...
— 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 ...
