Consolidated control framework to control a powered transfemoral prosthesis over inclined terrain conditions

ICRA 2019poster

For amputees, walking on sloped surfaces is one of the most challenging tasks in their daily lives. Unfortunately, designing a prosthesis that can effectively adapt to varying terrain is an ongoing problem. In this paper, we propose a unified control scheme that enables a powered transfemoral prosth…

Generalized Contact Constraints of Hybrid Trajectory optimization for Different Terrains and Analysis of Sensitivity to Randomized Initial Guesses

IROS 2019poster

To generate a dynamic bipedal walking with foot rolling motion for bipedal robot, hybrid trajectory optimization is capable of planning level walking with great energetic efficiency. However, the direct implementation of this optimization requires different sets of variables to express different act…

A step towards generating human-like walking gait via trajectory optimization through contact for a bipedal robot with one-sided springs on toes

IROS 2017poster

Trajectory optimization with direct collocation are widely used in various bipedal walking studies, from dynamic simulation in biomechanics to efficient bipedal walking motion generation with multiple contact domains. Although the latter has gained popularity, most of the approaches in this field in…
