In autonomous systems, the ability to make forecasts and cope with uncertain predictions is
synonymous with intelligence. Model predictive control (MPC) is an established control …

Day by day, biped robots' usage is increasing enormously in all industrial and non-industrial
applications due to their ability to move in any unstructured environment compared to …

We present a motion synthesis framework capable of producing a wide variety of important
human behaviors that have rarely been studied, including getting up from the ground …

ATRIAS is a human-scale 3D-capable bipedal robot designed to mechanically embody the
spring-mass model for dynamic walking and running. To help bring the extensive work on …

The fields of control and robotics are working toward the development of bipedal robots that
can realize walking motions with the stability and agility of a human being. Dynamic models …

Swarms of ground-based robots are presently limited to relatively simple environments,
which we attribute in part to the lack of locomotor capabilities needed to traverse complex …

The promise of legged robots over wheeled robots is to provide improved mobility over
rough terrain. Unfortunately, this promise comes at the cost of a significant increase in …

The world market of mobile robotics is expected to increase substantially in the next 20 yr,
surpassing the market of industrial robotics in terms of units and sales. Important fields of …

Underactuated robotic systems have become an important research topic aiming at
significant improvement of the behavioural performance and energy efficiency. Adopting …

No legged walking robot yet approaches the high reliability and the low power usage of a
walking person, even on flat ground. Here we describe a simple robot which makes small …
