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…

MPC-based Controller with Terrain Insight for Dynamic Legged Locomotion

Octavio Villarreal, Victor Barasuol, Patrick M. Wensing +2

We present a novel control strategy for dynamic legged locomotion in complex scenarios, that considers information about the morphology of the terrain in contexts when only on-boar…

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…

On-line and on-board planning and perception for quadrupedal locomotion

Carlos Mastalli, Ioannis Havoutis, Alexander W. Winkler +2

We present a legged motion planning approach for quadrupedal locomotion over challenging terrain. We decompose the problem into body action planning and footstep planning. We use a…
