Learning-Based Design and Control for Quadrupedal Robots With Parallel-Elastic Actuators

RA-L 2023

Parallel-elastic joints can improve the efficiency and strength of robots by assisting the actuators with additional torques. For these benefits to be realized, a spring needs to be carefully designed. However, designing robots is an iterative and tedious process, often relying on intuition and heur

Keep Rollin' - Whole-Body Motion Control and Planning for Wheeled Quadrupedal Robots

RA-L 2019

We show dynamic locomotion strategies for wheeled quadrupedal robots that combine the advantages of both walking and driving. The developed optimization framework tightly integrates the additional degrees of freedom introduced by the wheels. Our approach relies on a zero-moment point-based motion op
