On the Hardware Feasibility of Nonlinear Trajectory Optimization for Legged Locomotion based on a Simplified Dynamics
Angelo Bratta, Romeo Orsolino, Michele Focchi +3
Simplified models are useful to increase the computational efficiency of a motion planning algorithm, but their lack of accuracy have to be managed. We propose two feasibility cons…
Hierarchical Planning of Dynamic Movements without Scheduled Contact Sequences
Carlos Mastalli, Ioannis Havoutis, Michele Focchi +2
Most animal and human locomotion behaviors for solving complex tasks involve dynamic motions and rich contact interaction. In fact, complex maneuvers need to consider dynamic movem…
Simultaneous Contact, Gait and Motion Planning for Robust Multi-Legged Locomotion via Mixed-Integer Convex Optimization
Bernardo Aceituno-Cabezas, Carlos Mastalli, Hongkai Dai +7
Traditional motion planning approaches for multi-legged locomotion divide the problem into several stages, such as contact search and trajectory generation. However, reasoning abou…
Planning and Execution of Dynamic Whole-Body Locomotion for a Hydraulic Quadruped on Challenging Terrain
Alexander W. Winkler, Carlos Mastalli, Ioannis Havoutis +3
We present a framework for dynamic quadrupedal locomotion over challenging terrain, where the choice of appropriate footholds is crucial for the success of the behaviour. We build…
STANCE: Locomotion Adaptation over Soft Terrain
Shamel Fahmi, Michele Focchi, Andreea Radulescu +3
Whole-body Control (WBC) has emerged as an important framework in locomotion control for legged robots. However, most of WBC frameworks fail to generalize beyond rigid terrains. Le…
Feasible Region: an Actuation-Aware Extension of the Support Region
Romeo Orsolino, Michele Focchi, Stéphane Caron +3
In legged locomotion the projection of the robot Center of Mass (CoM) being inside the convex hull of the contact points is a commonly accepted sufficient condition to achieve stat…
