Although bipedal locomotion provides the ability to traverse unstructured environments, it requires careful planning and control to safely walk across without falling. This poses an integrated challenge for the robot to perceive, plan, and…
Understanding the dynamics of two inertial bodies coupled via a friction interface is essential for a wide range of systems and motion control applications. Coupling terms within the dynamics of an inertial pair connected via a passive…
This letter considers control of a radially symmetric tripedal friction-driven robot. The robot features 3 servo motors mounted on a 3-D printed chassis 7 cm from the center of mass and separated 120 degrees. These motors drive limbs, which…
In this paper, we present a hardware-control co-design approach that enables efficient and versatile roller skating on quadrupedal robots equipped with passive wheels. Passive-wheel skating reduces leg inertia and improves energy…
We consider the set of bimodal linear systems consisting of two linear dynamics acting on each side of a given hyperplane, assuming continuity along the separating hyperplane. Focusing on the unobservable planar ones, we obtain a simple…
This paper presents a control methodology for achieving orbital stabilization with simultaneous time synchronization of periodic trajectories in underactuated robotic systems. The proposed approach extends the classical transverse…
The aim of coordinated planning is to avoid robot-to-robot collisions in a multi-robot system, and there are two standard solution approaches: centralized planning and decoupled planning. Our first contribution is a decoupled planning…
We address the path-wise control of systems described by a set of nonlinear stochastic differential equations. For this class of systems, we introduce a notion of stochastic relative degree and a change of coordinates which transforms the…
Our work aims to make significant strides in understanding unexplored locomotion control paradigms based on the integration of posture manipulation and thrust vectoring. These techniques are commonly seen in nature, such as Chukar birds…
Practical bipedal robot locomotion needs to be both energy efficient and robust to variability and uncertainty. In this paper, we build upon recent works in trajectory optimization for robot locomotion with two primary goals. First, we wish…
In this work, we utilize discrete geometric mechanics to derive a 2nd-order variational integrator so as to simulate rigid body dynamics. The developed integrator is to simulate the motion of a free rigid body and a quad-rotor. We…
A control design approach is developed for a general class of uncertain strict-feedback-like nonlinear systems with dynamic uncertain input nonlinearities with time delays. The system structure considered in this paper includes a nominal…
This paper proposes several nonlinear control strategies for trajectory tracking of a quadcopter system based on the property of differential flatness. Its originality is twofold. Firstly, it provides a flat output for the quadcopter…
This paper considers the optimization landscape of linear dynamic output feedback control with $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ robustness constraints. We consider the feasible set of all the stabilizing full-order dynamical controllers that satisfy an…
This paper investigates the problem of pose synchronization for multiple rigid body systems evolving on the matrix Lie group $\SE(3)$. We propose a distributed hybrid feedback control scheme with global asymptotic stability guarantees using…
This paper presents a new geometric adaptive control system with state inequality constraints for the attitude dynamics of a rigid body. The control system is designed such that the desired attitude is asymptotically stabilized, while the…
Reduced-order models (ROMs) provide a powerful means of synthesizing dynamic walking gaits on legged robots. Yet this approach lacks the formal guarantees enjoyed by methods that utilize the full-order model (FOM) for gait synthesis, e.g.,…
This paper proposes to combine a 10Hz motion planner based on a kinematic bicycle Model Predictive Control (MPC) and a 100Hz closed-loop Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller to cope with normal driving situations. Its novelty…
The fractality of human gait, namely, the long-range correlation that characterizes scale-free fluctuations of gait descriptors, such as the stride intervals during steady-state walking, depends on the well-tuned organization of the…
This paper presents a neural-network based adaptive feedback control structure to regulate the velocity of 3D bipedal robots under dynamics uncertainties. Existing Hybrid Zero Dynamics (HZD)-based controllers regulate velocity through the…
