Teleoperation is a powerful method to generate reference motions and enable humanoid robots to perform a broad range of tasks. However, teleoperation becomes challenging when using hand contacts and non-coplanar surfaces, often leading to motor torque saturation or loss of stability through slipping
Teleoperation plays a crucial role in enabling robot operations in challenging environments, yet existing limitations in effectiveness and accuracy necessitate the development of innovative strategies for improving teleoperated tasks. This letter introduces a novel approach that utilizes mixed reali
The ability to accomplish manipulation and locomotion tasks in the presence of significant time-varying external loads is a remarkable skill of humans that has yet to be replicated convincingly by humanoid robots. Such an ability will be a key requirement in the environments we envision deploying ou…
For achieving significant levels of autonomy, legged robot behaviors require perceptual awareness of both the terrain for traversal, as well as structures and objects in their surroundings for planning, obstacle avoidance, and high-level decision making. In this work, we present a perception engine…
Legged robots require fast and accurate representation of their surrounding terrain to achieve behaviors such as running, push recovery, continuous walking, backflips, while also utilizing on-board computational resources efficiently. The desired tasks can be achieved efficiently by representing the…
