Abstract-- This work studies a class of hybrid mechanical systems that locomote by switching between constraints defining different dynamic regimes. We develop a geometric framewor...
—To efficiently solve challenging motion-planning problems with dynamics, this paper proposes treating motion planning not just as a search problem in a continuous space but as ...
Abstract—Modular robotic systems typically assemble using deterministic processes where modules are directly placed into their target position. By contrast, stochastic modular ro...

—We propose a novel framework, passive set-position modulation (PSPM), which enables us to connect a (continuoustime) robot’s position to a sequence of slowly-updating/sparse (...
Abstract—This paper presents a new methodology for the analysis and control of internal forces and center-of-mass (CoM) behavior, which are produced during multicontact interacti...
