Walk the PLANC: Physics-Guided RL for Agile Humanoid Locomotion on Constrained Footholds
Min Dai, William D. Compton, Junheng Li +2
Bipedal humanoid robots must precisely coordinate balance, timing, and contact decisions when locomoting on constrained footholds such as stepping stones, beams, and planks -- even…

Robust Push Recovery on Bipedal Robots: Leveraging Multi-Domain Hybrid Systems with Reduced-Order Model Predictive Control
Min Dai, Aaron D. Ames
In this paper, we present a novel control framework to achieve robust push recovery on bipedal robots while locomoting. The key contribution is the unification of hybrid system mod…
