BinWalker: Development and Field Evaluation of a Quadruped Manipulator Platform for Sustainable Litter Collection
Giulio Turrisi, Angelo Bratta, Giovanni Minelli +4
Litter pollution represents a growing environmental problem affecting natural and urban ecosystems worldwide. Waste discarded in public spaces often accumulates in areas that are d…
Online Object-Level Semantic Mapping for Quadrupeds in Real-World Environments
Emad Razavi, Angelo Bratta, João Carlos Virgolino Soares +2
We present an online semantic object mapping system for a quadruped robot operating in real indoor environments, turning sensor detections into named objects in a global map. Durin…
Accelerating Model Predictive Control for Legged Robots through Distributed Optimization
Lorenzo Amatucci, Giulio Turrisi, Angelo Bratta +2
This paper presents a novel approach to enhance Model Predictive Control (MPC) for legged robots through Distributed Optimization. Our method focuses on decomposing the robot dynam…
ContactNet: Online Multi-Contact Planning for Acyclic Legged Robot Locomotion
Angelo Bratta, Avadesh Meduri, Michele Focchi +2
In legged logomotion, online trajectory optimization techniques generally depend on heuristic-based contact planners in order to have low computation times and achieve high replann…
