Legged robotic technologies have moved out of the lab to operate in real environments,
characterized by a wide variety of unpredictable irregularities and disturbances, all this in …

We report an energy-efficiency analysis for the walking pattern of a humanoid robot on
different indoor surfaces with different walking speeds. The walking efficiency is measured …

Bipedal locomotion over compliant terrain is an important and largely underexplored
problem in the robotics community. Although robot walking has been achieved on some non …

Robots can traverse sparse obstacles by sensing environmental geometry and avoiding
contact with obstacles. However, for search and rescue in rubble, environmental monitoring …

People have been fascinated with humanoid robots for over two decades. They are
expected to assist and collaborate with humans in the future. However, due to the limitations …

Mobile robots are becoming increasingly prevalent in society. While many of these robots
are designed for simple terrains, there is a growing demand for their use in more complex …

Many applications require robots to move through complex 3-D terrain with large obstacles,
such as self-driving, search and rescue, and extraterrestrial exploration. Although robots are …
