Humanoid Path Planning over Rough Terrain using Traversability Assessment
Stephen McCrory, Bhavyansh Mishra, Jaehoon An +3
We present a planning framework designed for humanoid navigation over challenging terrain. This framework is designed to plan a traversable, smooth, and collision-free path using a…
Non-Linear Trajectory Optimization for Large Step-Ups: Application to the Humanoid Robot Atlas
Stefano Dafarra, Sylvain Bertrand, Robert J. Griffin +3
Performing large step-ups is a challenging task for a humanoid robot. It requires the robot to perform motions at the limit of its reachable workspace while straining to move its b…
0-Step Capturability, Motion Decomposition and Global Feedback Control of the 3D Variable Height-Inverted Pendulum
Gabriel Garcia, Robert Griffin, Jerry Pratt
One common method for stabilizing robots after a push is the Instantaneous Capture Point, however, this has the fundamental limitation of assuming constant height. Although there a…
Deploying the NASA Valkyrie Humanoid for IED Response: An Initial Approach and Evaluation Summary
Steven Jens Jorgensen, Michael W. Lanighan, Sylvain S. Bertrand +19
As part of a feasibility study, this paper shows the NASA Valkyrie humanoid robot performing an end-to-end improvised explosive device (IED) response task. To demonstrate and evalu…
Footstep Planning for Autonomous Walking Over Rough Terrain
Robert J. Griffin, Georg Wiedebach, Stephen McCrory +3
To increase the speed of operation and reduce operator burden, humanoid robots must be able to function autonomously, even in complex, cluttered environments. For this to be possib…
