Optimal Gait Families using Lagrange Multiplier Method
Jinwoo Choi, Capprin Bass, Ross L. Hatton
The robotic locomotion community is interested in optimal gaits for control. Based on the optimization criterion, however, there could be a number of possible optimal gaits. For ex…
Motion Planning for Agile Legged Locomotion using Failure Margin Constraints
Kevin Green, John Warila, Ross L. Hatton +1
The complex dynamics of agile robotic legged locomotion requires motion planning to intelligently adjust footstep locations. Often, bipedal footstep and motion planning use mathema…
Scales and Locomotion: Non-Reversible Longitudinal Drag
Quinten Konyn, Ross L. Hatton
Locomotion requires that an animal or robot be able to move itself forward farther than it moves backward in each gait cycle (formally, that it be able to break the symmetry of its…
Characterizing Error in Noncommutative Geometric Gait Analysis
Capprin Bass, Suresh Ramasamy, Ross Hatton
A key problem in robotic locomotion is in finding optimal shape changes to effectively displace systems through the world. Variational techniques for gait optimization require esti…
The Geometry of Optimal Gaits for Inertia-dominated Kinematic Systems
Ross L. Hatton, Zachary Brock, Shuoqi Chen +5
Isolated mechanical systems -- e.g., those floating in space, in free-fall, or on a frictionless surface -- are able to achieve net rotation by cyclically changing their shape, eve…
Data-Driven Geometric System Identification for Shape-Underactuated Dissipative Systems
Brian Bittner, Ross L. Hatton, Shai Revzen
Systems whose movement is highly dissipative provide an opportunity to both identify models easily and quickly optimize motions. Geometric mechanics provides means for reduction of…
