Nowadays, design, development, and motion planning of a mobile robot explore research
areas in the field of robotics. Mobile robots have an extensive area of applications in various …

Animals are much better at running than robots. The difference in performance arises in the
important dimensions of agility, range, and robustness. To understand the underlying …

Numerous mobile robots in various forms specialize in either ground or aerial locomotion,
whereas very few robots can perform complex locomotion tasks beyond simple walking and …

In this letter, we present a method for integrating central pattern generators (CPGs), ie
systems of coupled oscillators, into the deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework to …

Inspired by the relatively simple morphological blueprint provided by batoid fish such as
stingrays and skates, we created a biohybrid system that enables an artificial animal—a …

The bacterial nanocellulose has been used in a wide range of biomedical applications
including carriers for drug delivery, blood vessels, artificial skin and wound dressing. The …

This paper presents the design and implementation of a bounding controller for the MIT
Cheetah 2 and its experimental results. The paper introduces the architecture of the …

Legged robots are sent into outdoor environments and desired to explore unstructured
terrains like animals in nature. Therefore, the ability to robustly detect leg phase transitions …

As legged robots are sent into unstructured environments, the ability to robustly manage
contact transitions will be a critical skill. This paper introduces an approach to …

There have been significant interests and efforts in the field of impedance control on robotic
manipulation over last decades. Impedance control aims to achieve the desired mechanical …
