Multilegged robots have the potential to serve as assistants for humans, replacing them in
performing dangerous, dull, or unclean tasks. However, they are still far from being …

Embodied Artificial Intelligence (Embodied AI) is crucial for achieving Artificial General
Intelligence (AGI) and serves as a foundation for various applications that bridge cyberspace …

Humans can perform parkour by traversing obstacles in a highly dynamic fashion requiring
precise eye-muscle coordination and movement. Getting robots to do the same task requires …

Animals are capable of precise and agile locomotion using vision. Replicating this ability
has been a long-standing goal in robotics. The traditional approach has been to decompose …

Successful real-world deployment of legged robots would require them to adapt in real-time
to unseen scenarios like changing terrains, changing payloads, wear and tear. This paper …

Legged locomotion can extend the operational domain of robots to some of the most
challenging environments on Earth. However, conventional controllers for legged …

The current proliferation of mobile robots spans ecological monitoring, warehouse
management and extreme environment exploration, to an individual consumer's home …

An attached arm can significantly increase the applicability of legged robots to several
mobile manipulation tasks that are not possible for the wheeled or tracked counterparts. The …

Dynamic locomotion in rough terrain requires accurate foot placement, collision avoidance,
and planning of the underactuated dynamics of the system. Reliably optimizing for such …

Legged robots pose one of the greatest challenges in robotics. Dynamic and agile
maneuvers of animals cannot be imitated by existing methods that are crafted by humans. A …
