Approximate optimal control of the compass gait on rough terrain
Abstract— In this paper, we explore the capabilities of actuated models of the compass gait walker on rough terrain. We solve for the optimal high-level feedback policy to negoti...

A miniature jumping robot with self-recovery capabilities
— In nature, many animals are able to jump, upright themselves after landing and jump again. This allows them to move in unstructured and rough terrain. As a further development ...
