FootTile: a Rugged Foot Sensor for Force and Center of Pressure Sensing in Soft Terrain

ICRA 2020poster

In this paper, we present FootTile, a foot sensor for reaction force and center of pressure sensing in challenging terrain. We compare our sensor design to standard biomechanical devices, force plates and pressure plates. We show that FootTile can accurately estimate force and pressure distribution…

Shaping in Practice: Training Wheels to Learn Fast Hopping Directly in Hardware

Steve Heim, Felix Ruppert, Alborz A. Sarvestani, Alexander Spröwitz

ICRA 2018poster

Learning instead of designing robot controllers can greatly reduce engineering effort required, while also emphasizing robustness. Despite considerable progress in simulation, applying learning directly in hardware is still challenging, in part due to the necessity to explore potentially unstable pa…
