In recent years, the evolution of artificial neural networks or neuroevolution has brought promising results in solving difficult reinforcement learning problems. But, like standa...
: This paper describes experiments with an electrically actuated one legged hopping robot, the ARL Monopod. While a spring-mass system, comprised of the leg spring and the body mas...
This paper explores the many uses of angular momentum regulation and its role in the synthesis of coordinated motion generated with physically based characters. Previous investigat...
Most robot designers make the mechanical interface between an actuator and its load as stiff as possible[9][10]. This makes sense in traditional position-controlled systems, becau...
