'Virtual pivot point' in human walking: always experimentally observed but simulations suggest it may not be necessary for stability
L. Schreff, D. F. B. Haeufle, A. Badri-Spröwitz +2
The intersection of ground reaction forces near a point above the center of mass has been observed in computer simulation models and human walking experiments. Observed so ubiquito…
Slack-based tunable damping leads to a trade-off between robustness and efficiency in legged locomotion
An Mo, Fabio Izzi, Emre Cemal Gönen +2
Animals run robustly in diverse terrain. This locomotion robustness is puzzling because axon conduction velocity is limited to a few ten meters per second. If reflex loops deliver…
Learning with Muscles: Benefits for Data-Efficiency and Robustness in Anthropomorphic Tasks
Isabell Wochner, Pierre Schumacher, Georg Martius +3
Humans are able to outperform robots in terms of robustness, versatility, and learning of new tasks in a wide variety of movements. We hypothesize that highly nonlinear muscle dyna…
DEP-RL: Embodied Exploration for Reinforcement Learning in Overactuated and Musculoskeletal Systems
Pierre Schumacher, Daniel Häufle, Dieter Büchler +2
Muscle-actuated organisms are capable of learning an unparalleled diversity of dexterous movements despite their vast amount of muscles. Reinforcement learning (RL) on large muscul…
