Humanoid robots offer significant advantages for search and rescue tasks, thanks to their capability to traverse rough terrains and perform transportation tasks. In this study, we present a task and motion planning framework for search and rescue operations using a heterogeneous robot team composed
We study the problem of bipedal robot navigation in complex environments with uncertain and rough terrain. In particular, we consider a scenario in which the robot is expected to reach a desired goal location by traversing an environment with uncertain terrain elevation. Such terrain uncertainties i…
This study addresses the challenge of bipedal navigation in a dynamic human-crowded environment, a research area that remains largely underexplored in the field of legged navigation. We propose two cascaded zonotope-based neural networks: a Pedestrian Prediction Network (PPN) for pedestrians’ future
We present the first fully spatial hopping gait of a 12 DoF tailed biped driven by only 4 actuators. The control of this physical machine is built up from parallel compositions of controllers for progressively higher DoF extensions of a simple 2 DoF, 1 actuator template. These template dynamics are…
