Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has achieved remarkable success in robot control. However, DRL with tactile feedback still faces challenges in contact-rich tasks involving visual occlusion or high-speed dynamics. The challenges stem from two primary sources. First, the complexity and diversity of …
Legged robots hold great promise for agile and flexible mobility across diverse and unstructured terrains, inspired by the remarkable adaptability of bipeds and quadrupeds in nature. However, achieving robust autonomous locomotion in cluttered and complex environments remains a significant challenge…
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) controllers for quadrupedal locomotion have demonstrated impressive performance on challenging terrains, allowing robots to execute complex skills such as climbing, running, and jumping. However, existing blind locomotion controllers often struggle to ensure safety …
In the robotics community, it has been a longstanding challenge for quadrupeds to achieve highly explosive movements similar to their biological counterparts. In this work, we introduce a novel training framework that achieves height-aware and omnidirectional jumping for quadrupedal robots. To facil…
Fall recovery for legged robots remains challenging, particularly on complex terrains where traditional controllers fail due to incomplete terrain perception and uncertain interactions. We present FR-Net, a learning-based framework that enables quadrupedal robots to recover from arbitrary fall poses

Due to the rapid development of the quadruped robot industry in the past decade, various commercial quadruped robots have emerged with distinct physical attributes. Different from the previous work in which the designed controller is robot-specific, this article proposes a learning-based control fra
