Real-to-Sim: Predicting Residual Errors of Robotic Systems with Sparse Data using a Learning-based Unscented Kalman Filter

Alexander Schperberg, Yusuke Tanaka, Feng Xu +2

Achieving highly accurate dynamic or simulator models that are close to the real robot can facilitate model-based controls (e.g., model predictive control or linear-quadradic regul…

SCALER: A Tough Versatile Quadruped Free-Climber Robot

Yusuke Tanaka, Yuki Shirai, Xuan Lin +5

This paper introduces SCALER, a quadrupedal robot that demonstrates climbing on bouldering walls, overhangs, ceilings and trotting on the ground. SCALER is one of the first high-de…

Simultaneous Contact-Rich Grasping and Locomotion via Distributed Optimization Enabling Free-Climbing for Multi-Limbed Robots

Yuki Shirai, Xuan Lin, Alexander Schperberg +4

While motion planning of locomotion for legged robots has shown great success, motion planning for legged robots with dexterous multi-finger grasping is not mature yet. We present…

Learning Near-global-optimal Strategies for Hybrid Non-convex Model Predictive Control of Single Rigid Body Locomotion

Xuan Lin, Feng Xu, Alexander Schperberg +1

Convex model predictive controls (MPCs) with a single rigid body model have demonstrated strong performance on real legged robots. However, convex MPCs are limited by their assumpt…

Adaptive Force Controller for Contact-Rich Robotic Systems using an Unscented Kalman Filter

Alexander Schperberg, Yuki Shirai, Xuan Lin +2

In multi-point contact systems, precise force control is crucial for achieving stable and safe interactions between robots and their environment. Thus, we demonstrate an admittance…
