Conjugate momentum based thruster force estimate in dynamic multimodal robot
Shreyansh Pitroda, Eric Sihite, Taoran Liu +6
In a multi-modal system which combines thruster and legged locomotion such our state-of-the-art Harpy platform to perform dynamic locomotion. Therefore, it is very important to hav…
Quadratic Programming Optimization for Bio-Inspired Thruster-Assisted Bipedal Locomotion on Inclined Slopes
Shreyansh Pitroda, Eric Sihite, Kaushik Venkatesh Krishnamurthy +5
Our work aims to make significant strides in understanding unexplored locomotion control paradigms based on the integration of posture manipulation and thrust vectoring. These tech…
Enabling steep slope walking on Husky using reduced order modeling and quadratic programming
Kaushik Venkatesh Krishnamurthy, Eric Sihite, Chenghao Wang +4
Wing-assisted inclined running (WAIR) observed in some young birds, is an attractive maneuver that can be extended to legged aerial systems. This study proposes a control method us…
Thruster-Assisted Incline Walking
Kaushik Venkatesh Krishnamurthy, Chenghao Wang, Shreyansh Pitroda +5
In this study, our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of thruster-assisted steep slope walking for the Husky Carbon, a quadrupedal robot equipped with custom-designed actuators a…
