Planning Natural Locomotion for Articulated Soft Quadrupeds

ICRA 2022poster

Embedding elastic elements into legged robots through mechanical design enables highly efficient oscillating patterns that resemble natural gaits. However, current trajectory planning techniques miss the opportunity of taking advantage of these natural motions. This work proposes a locomotion planni…

Elastic Structure Preserving Impedance (ESπ)Control for Compliantly Actuated Robots

IROS 2018poster

We present a new approach for Cartesian impedance control of compliantly actuated robots with possibly nonlinear spring characteristics. It reveals a remarkable stiffness and damping range in the experimental evaluation. The most interesting contribution, is the way the desired closed-loop dynamics…
