System Design of the Ultra Mobility Vehicle: A Driving, Balancing, and Jumping Bicycle Robot
Benjamin Bokser, Daniel Gonzalez, Aaron Preston +39
Trials cyclists and mountain bike riders can hop, jump, balance, and drive on one or both wheels. This versatility allows them to achieve speed and energy-efficiency on smooth terr…
Attention-Based Map Encoding for Learning Generalized Legged Locomotion
Junzhe He, Chong Zhang, Fabian Jenelten +3
Dynamic locomotion of legged robots is a critical yet challenging topic in expanding the operational range of mobile robots. It requires precise planning when possible footholds ar…
DTC: Deep Tracking Control
Fabian Jenelten, Junzhe He, Farbod Farshidian +1
Legged locomotion is a complex control problem that requires both accuracy and robustness to cope with real-world challenges. Legged systems have traditionally been controlled usin…
Perceptive Locomotion through Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
Ruben Grandia, Fabian Jenelten, Shaohui Yang +2
Dynamic locomotion in rough terrain requires accurate foot placement, collision avoidance, and planning of the underactuated dynamics of the system. Reliably optimizing for such mo…
TAMOLS: Terrain-Aware Motion Optimization for Legged Systems
Fabian Jenelten, Ruben Grandia, Farbod Farshidian +1
Terrain geometry is, in general, non-smooth, non-linear, non-convex, and, if perceived through a robot-centric visual unit, appears partially occluded and noisy. This work presents…
Elevation Mapping for Locomotion and Navigation using GPU
Takahiro Miki, Lorenz Wellhausen, Ruben Grandia +3
Perceiving the surrounding environment is crucial for autonomous mobile robots. An elevation map provides a memory-efficient and simple yet powerful geometric representation for gr…
CERBERUS: Autonomous Legged and Aerial Robotic Exploration in the Tunnel and Urban Circuits of the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
Marco Tranzatto, Frank Mascarich, Lukas Bernreiter +38
Autonomous exploration of subterranean environments constitutes a major frontier for robotic systems as underground settings present key challenges that can render robot autonomy h…
Keep Rollin' - Whole-Body Motion Control and Planning for Wheeled Quadrupedal Robots
Marko Bjelonic, C. Dario Bellicoso, Yvain de Viragh +4
We show dynamic locomotion strategies for wheeled quadrupedal robots, which combine the advantages of both walking and driving. The developed optimization framework tightly integra…
