Animals possessing spinal columns often exhibit exceptional agility for highly dynamic locomotion. The spine grants the trunk with increased degrees of freedom, thereby endowing diverse postures. This paper presents the development of a robot STRAY for quadrupedal locomotion, featuring a four-degree…
Torque ripple reduction in quasi-direct drive (QDD) motors is crucial in their robotic applications for dynamic locomotion and dexterous manipulation. In this paper, we present a novel approach for reducing torque ripples of QDD motors, which integrates an angle-based repetitive learning observer (A…
This letter presents a free space trajectory optimization algorithm for autonomous driving, which decouples the collision-free trajectory generation problem into a Dual-Loop Iterative Anchoring Path Smoothing (DL-IAPS) problem and a Piecewise-Jerk Speed Optimization (PJSO) problem. The work leads to
Accurately forecasting the future movements of surrounding vehicles is essential for safe and efficient operations of autonomous driving cars. This task is difficult because a vehicle's moving trajectory is greatly determined by its driver's intention, which is often hard to estimate. By leveraging…
In the autonomous driving industry, vehicle dynamic models are important to control-in-the-loop simulations. For current commercial self-driving simulators, vehicle dynamic models are expressed explicitly by sophisticated analytical equations, which are accurate but difficult to build and expensive…
