Grey-box methods for system identification combine deep learning with physics-informed constraints, capturing complex dependencies while improving out-of-distribution generalization. Despite the growing importance of floating-base systems such as humanoids and quadrupeds, current grey-box models ign…
Collapsing terrains, often present in search and rescue missions or planetary exploration, pose significant challenges for quadruped robots. This paper introduces a robust locomotion framework for safe navigation over unstable surfaces by integrating terrain probing, load-bearing analysis, motion pl…

The capability of a quadruped robot to negotiate obstacles is tightly connected to its leg workspace and joint torque limits. When facing terrain where the height of obstacles is close to the leg length, the locomotion robustness and safety are reduced since more dynamic motions are required to trav…
Wheeled-legged robots are an attractive solution for versatile locomotion in challenging terrain. They combine the speed and efficiency of wheels with the ability of legs to traverse challenging terrain. In this letter, we present a trajectory optimization formulation for wheeled-legged robots that
