Abstract Purpose of Review The goal of this review is to evaluate the current status of multi-
robot systems in the context of search and rescue. This includes an investigation of their …

We describe an optimization-based framework to perform complex locomotion skills for
robots with legs and wheels. The generation of complex motions over a long-time horizon …

Our paper proposes a model predictive controller as a single-task formulation that
simultaneously optimizes wheel and torso motions. This online joint velocity and ground …

The community in legged robotics focuses on bio-inspired robots, although there are some
human inventions that nature could not recreate. One of the most significant examples is the …

This paper explores the problem of collision-free motion generation for manipulators by
formulating it as a global motion optimization problem. We develop a parallel optimization …

Maintaining a stable trunk while driving over rough terrain is a challenging issue for a multi-
wheel-leg mobile robot, since the control coupling between the legs and the trunk has a …

This article presents a hybrid motion planning and control approach applicable to various
ground robot types and morphologies. Our two-step approach uses a sampling-based …

RHex‐style hexapod robot is a type of legged robot which can perform multiple moving gaits
according to different applications, due to its simple structure and strong mobility. However …

An unmanned metamorphic vehicle is a new deformable robot that can transform its
configuration according to different road conditions in order to realize wheeled driving or …
