The Effect of Gait Stability Based on Two Types of Impact Strategies for Two-Link Walking and Brachiating Robots

Alan Estrada Flores, Nelson Rosa

In this paper, we explore the impulsive dynamics common to single-joint, two-link models of walking and brachiating gaits with respect to slope and switching time. In particular, w…

Amplify: A Lightweight Library for Reproducible Nonlinear Programming Problems in Robotics

Nelson Rosa

Optimization problems (OPs) are key to solving many challenging research problems in robotics. However, reproducibility still remains a major issue. In this paper, we present Ampli…

An Approach for Generating Families of Energetically Optimal Gaits from Passive Dynamic Walking Gaits

Nelson Rosa, Bassel Katamish, Maximilian Raff +1

For a class of biped robots with impulsive dynamics and a non-empty set of passive gaits (unactuated, periodic motions of the biped model), we present a method for computing contin…

Connecting Gaits in Energetically Conservative Legged Systems

Maximilian Raff, Nelson Rosa, C. David Remy

In this work, we present a nonlinear dynamics perspective on generating and connecting gaits for energetically conservative models of legged systems. In particular, we show that th…

A Topological Approach to Gait Generation for Biped Robots

Nelson Rosa, Kevin M. Lynch

This paper describes a topological approach to generating families of open- and closed-loop walking gaits for underactuated 2D and 3D biped walkers subject to configuration inequal…
