Robot skateboarding is a novel and challenging task for legged robots. Accurately modeling the dynamics of dual floating bases and developing effective planning and control methods present significant complexities in accomplishing skateboarding behavior. This paper focuses on enabling the quadrupeda…
In this paper, we propose a system for real-time rat pose estimation based on stereo vision. The system is dedicated to robot-rat interaction research. First, we design a lightweight, high-resolution network (RRKDNet) for keypoint detection of the rat. The network is trained on a dataset of rat imag…
In this letter, we propose a motion generation strategy using imitation learning (IL) for biomimetic robots to interact with animals in a more natural manner. We previously developed a bioinspired spine mechanism allowing the robot to mimic rat motion closely. Thanks to the spine morphology, we esta
