A System for Fast, Resilient, and Adaptable Loco-Manipulation Behaviors on Humanoid Robots
Duncan Calvert, Luigi Penco, Dexton Anderson +4
There is tremendous value in humanoid robots taking on physically demanding, hazardous, and repetitive work in spaces built for humans. However, a useful robot for these spaces mus…
A System for Fast, Resilient, and Adaptable Loco-Manipulation Behaviors on Humanoid Robots
Duncan William Calvert
Humanoid robots could take on physically demanding, hazardous, and repetitive work in spaces built for humans. However, a useful robot for these spaces must coordinate locomotion,…
Anticipatory and Adaptive Footstep Streaming for Teleoperated Bipedal Robots
Luigi Penco, Beomyeong Park, Stefan Fasano +7
Achieving seamless synchronization between user and robot motion in teleoperation, particularly during high-speed tasks, remains a significant challenge. In this work, we propose a…
A Behavior Architecture for Fast Humanoid Robot Door Traversals
Duncan Calvert, Luigi Penco, Dexton Anderson +6
Towards the role of humanoid robots as squad mates in urban operations and other domains, we identified doors as a major area lacking capability development. In this paper, we focu…
Mixed Reality Teleoperation Assistance for Direct Control of Humanoids
Luigi Penco, Kazuhiko Momose, Stephen McCrory +4
Teleoperation plays a crucial role in enabling robot operations in challenging environments, yet existing limitations in effectiveness and accuracy necessitate the development of i…
High-Speed and Impact Resilient Teleoperation of Humanoid Robots
Sylvain Bertrand, Luigi Penco, Dexton Anderson +17
Teleoperation of humanoid robots has long been a challenging domain, necessitating advances in both hardware and software to achieve seamless and intuitive control. This paper pres…
Authoring and Operating Humanoid Behaviors On the Fly using Coactive Design Principles
Duncan Calvert, Dexton Anderson, Tomasz Bialek +4
Humanoid robots have the potential to perform useful tasks in a world built for humans. However, communicating intention and teaming with a humanoid robot is a multi-faceted and co…
Generating Humanoid Multi-Contact through Feasibility Visualization
Stephen McCrory, Sylvain Bertrand, Achintya Mohan +3
We present a feasibility-driven teleoperation framework designed to generate humanoid multi-contact maneuvers for use in unstructured environments. Our framework is designed for mo…
A Fast, Autonomous, Bipedal Walking Behavior over Rapid Regions
Duncan Calvert, Bhavyansh Mishra, Stephen McCrory +3
In trying to build humanoid robots that perform useful tasks in a world built for humans, we address the problem of autonomous locomotion. Humanoid robot planning and control algor…
