Synergistic 3D limit cycle walking of an anthropomorphic biped robot
— Human walking emerges from synergy of whole body dynamics: not only legs, but also a torso, arms, and a head are compliantly connected with each other by antagonistic muscles. ...

Task-induced symmetry and reduction in kinematic systems with application to needle steering
— Lie group symmetry in a mechanical system can lead to a dimensional reduction in its dynamical equations. Typically, the symmetries that one exploits are intrinsic to the mecha...
