Optimizing Bipedal Locomotion for The 100m Dash With Comparison to Human Running

Devin Crowley, Jeremy Dao, Helei Duan +3

In this paper, we explore the space of running gaits for the bipedal robot Cassie. Our first contribution is to present an approach for optimizing gait efficiency across a spectrum…

Learning Decentralized Multi-Biped Control for Payload Transport

Bikram Pandit, Ashutosh Gupta, Mohitvishnu S. Gadde +5

Payload transport over flat terrain via multi-wheel robot carriers is well-understood, highly effective, and configurable. In this paper, our goal is to provide similar effectivene…

Revisiting Reward Design and Evaluation for Robust Humanoid Standing and Walking

Bart van Marum, Aayam Shrestha, Helei Duan +3

A necessary capability for humanoid robots is the ability to stand and walk while rejecting natural disturbances. Recent progress has been made using sim-to-real reinforcement lear…

Sim-to-Real Learning for Humanoid Box Loco-Manipulation

Jeremy Dao, Helei Duan, Alan Fern

In this work we propose a learning-based approach to box loco-manipulation for a humanoid robot. This is a particularly challenging problem due to the need for whole-body coordinat…

Learning Vision-Based Bipedal Locomotion for Challenging Terrain

Helei Duan, Bikram Pandit, Mohitvishnu S. Gadde +4

Reinforcement learning (RL) for bipedal locomotion has recently demonstrated robust gaits over moderate terrains using only proprioceptive sensing. However, such blind controllers…

Learning Dynamic Bipedal Walking Across Stepping Stones

Helei Duan, Ashish Malik, Mohitvishnu S. Gadde +3

In this work, we propose a learning approach for 3D dynamic bipedal walking when footsteps are constrained to stepping stones. While recent work has shown progress on this problem,…

Learning Memory-Based Control for Human-Scale Bipedal Locomotion

Jonah Siekmann, Srikar Valluri, Jeremy Dao +4

Controlling a non-statically stable biped is a difficult problem largely due to the complex hybrid dynamics involved. Recent work has demonstrated the effectiveness of reinforcemen…
