Predictive Control with Indirect Adaptive Laws for Payload Transportation by Quadrupedal Robots
Leila Amanzadeh, Taizoon Chunawala, Randall T. Fawcett +2
This paper formally develops a novel hierarchical planning and control framework for robust payload transportation by quadrupedal robots, integrating a model predictive control (MP…
Safety-Critical and Distributed Nonlinear Predictive Controllers for Teams of Quadrupedal Robots
Basit Muhammad Imran, Jeeseop Kim, Taizoon Chunawala +2
This paper presents a novel hierarchical, safety-critical control framework that integrates distributed nonlinear model predictive controllers (DNMPCs) with control barrier functio…
Design and Development of a Locomotion Interface for Virtual Reality Lower-Body Haptic Interaction
An-Chi He, Jungsoo Park, Benjamin Beiter +2
This work presents the design, build, control, and preliminary user data of a locomotion interface called ForceBot. It delivers lower-body haptic interaction in virtual reality (VR…
Additively Manufactured Open-Source Quadruped Robots for Multi-Robot SLAM Applications
Zachary Fuge, Benjamin Beiter, Alexander Leonessa
This work presents the design and development of the quadruped robot Squeaky to be used as a research and learning platform for single and multi-SLAM robotics, computer vision, and…
