Robots epitomize one of the most popular human imaginations that are evolving to become
reality in the most pervasive way. Especially with the rise of artificial intelligence, it is more …

Quadruped robots have shown remarkable mobility on various terrains through
reinforcement learning. Yet, in the presence of sparse footholds and risky terrains such as …

Litter nowadays presents a significant threat to the equilibrium of many ecosystems. An
example is the sea, where litter coming from coasts and cities via gutters, streets, and …

In this letter, we address path planning for the quasi-static locomotion of a multi-legged
walking robot on terrains with limited available footholds, such as passing a water stream …

We propose a novel method, ProNav, which uses proprioceptive signals for traversability
estimation in challenging outdoor terrains for autonomous legged robot navigation. Our …

The capability of a quadruped robot to negotiate obstacles is tightly connected to its leg
workspace and joint torque limits. When facing terrain where the height of obstacles is close …

The dynamics of hydraulic robots are complicated due to the closed-chain joints formed by
cylinder articulation. This article is focused on presenting a model-based control framework …

While pets offer companionship, their limited intelligence restricts advanced reasoning and
autonomous interaction with humans. Considering this, we propose QuadrupedGPT, a …

The motion process of legged robots contains not only rigid-body motion but also flexible
motion with elastic deformation of the legs, especially for heavy loads. Hence, the …

Legged robots are increasingly entering new domains and applications, including search
and rescue, inspection, and logistics. However, for such a systems to be valuable in real …
