Foothold Evaluation Criterion for Dynamic Transition Feasibility for Quadruped Robots

ICRA 2022poster

To traverse complex scenarios reliably a legged robot needs to move its base aided by the ground reaction forces, which can only be generated by the legs that are momentarily in contact with the ground. A proper selection of footholds is crucial for maintaining balance. In this paper, we propose a f…

MPC-based Controller with Terrain Insight for Dynamic Legged Locomotion

ICRA 2020poster

We present a novel control strategy for dynamic legged locomotion in complex scenarios that considers information about the morphology of the terrain in contexts when only on-board mapping and computation are available. The strategy is built on top of two main elements: first a contact sequence task…
