Autonomous robots need the ability to move purposefully and without human intervention in real-world environments that have not been speci cally engineered for them. These environm...
— We present a novel approach to legged locomotion over rough terrain that is thoroughly rooted in optimization. This approach relies on a hierarchy of fast, anytime algorithms t...

— We present a control approach that uses a library of trajectories to establish a global control law or policy. This is an alternative to methods for finding global policies ba...
— The goal of motion planning is to find a feasible path that connects two positions and is free from collision with obstacles. Path sets are a robust approach to this problem i...
— For a mobile robot it is critical to detect and compensate for slippage, especially when driving in rough terrain environments. Due to its highly unpredictable nature, drift la...
