— Dynamic stability allows running animals to maintain preferred speed during locomotion over rough terrain. It appears that rapid disturbance rejection is an emergent property o...
We propose a constructive control design for stabilization of non-periodic trajectories of underactuated robots. An important example of such a system is an underactuated “dynam...

This paper presents an advanced leg module developed for HRP-2. HRP-2 is a new humanoid robotics platform, which we have been developing in phase two of HRP. HRP is a humanoid rob...
— In this paper, we propose an action planning algorithm and its evaluation method based on dynamic simulation for a novel type of hybrid leg-wheel rover for planetary exploratio...
