A Task-Driven, Planner-in-the-Loop Computational Design Framework for Modular Manipulators
Maolin Lei, Edoardo Romiti, Arturo Laurenzi +5
Modular manipulators composed of pre-manufactured and interchangeable modules offer high adaptability across diverse tasks. However, their deployment requires generating feasible m…
Symbolic Learning of Interpretable Reduced-Order Models for Jumping Quadruped Robots
Gioele Buriani, Jingyue Liu, Maximilian Stölzle +2
Reduced-order models are central to motion planning and control of quadruped robots, yet existing templates are often hand-crafted for a specific locomotion modality. This motivate…
Versatile, Robust, and Explosive Locomotion with Rigid and Articulated Compliant Quadrupeds
Jiatao Ding, Peiyu Yang, Fabio Boekel +4
Achieving versatile and explosive motion with robustness against dynamic uncertainties is a challenging task. Introducing parallel compliance in quadrupedal design is deemed to enh…
Explosive Jumping with Rigid and Articulated Soft Quadrupeds via Example Guided Reinforcement Learning
Georgios Apostolides, Wei Pan, Jens Kober +2
Achieving controlled jumping behaviour for a quadruped robot is a challenging task, especially when introducing passive compliance in mechanical design. This study addresses this c…
