For decades, inverse kinematics (IK) was an intense and active research area in robotics. Beyond analytical solutions limited to a restricted range of robotic systems and applications, differential inverse kinematics has emerged as a generic class of methods, able to cope with a wider variety of rob…
In this letter, we present a versatile hierarchical offline planning algorithm, along with an online control pipeline for agile quadrupedal locomotion. Our offline planner alternates between optimizing centroidal dynamics for a reduced-order model and whole-body trajectory optimization, with the aim
Riemannian Motion Policies (RMPs) have recently been introduced as a way to specify second-order motion policies defined on robot task spaces. RMP-based approaches have the advantage of being more general than traditional approaches based on operational space control; for example, the generalized ta…
