Hierarchical Reduced-Order Model Predictive Control for Robust Locomotion on Humanoid Robots
Adrian B. Ghansah, Sergio A. Esteban, Aaron D. Ames
As humanoid robots enter real-world environments, ensuring robust locomotion across diverse environments is crucial. This paper presents a computationally efficient hierarchical co…
Bracing for Impact: Robust Humanoid Push Recovery and Locomotion with Reduced Order Models
Lizhi Yang, Blake Werner, Adrian B. Ghansah +1
Push recovery during locomotion will facilitate the deployment of humanoid robots in human-centered environments. In this paper, we present a unified framework for walking control…
Reduced-Order Model Guided Contact-Implicit Model Predictive Control for Humanoid Locomotion
Sergio A. Esteban, Vince Kurtz, Adrian B. Ghansah +1
Humanoid robots have great potential for real-world applications due to their ability to operate in environments built for humans, but their deployment is hindered by the challenge…
Dynamic Walking on Highly Underactuated Point Foot Humanoids: Closing the Loop between HZD and HLIP
Adrian B. Ghansah, Jeeseop Kim, Kejun Li +1
Realizing bipedal locomotion on humanoid robots with point feet is especially challenging due to their highly underactuated nature, high degrees of freedom, and hybrid dynamics res…
Humanoid Robot Co-Design: Coupling Hardware Design with Gait Generation via Hybrid Zero Dynamics
Adrian B. Ghansah, Jeeseop Kim, Maegan Tucker +1
Selecting robot design parameters can be challenging since these parameters are often coupled with the performance of the controller and, therefore, the resulting capabilities of t…
