Experimental validation of a bio-inspired controller for dynamic walking with a humanoid robot

Auke Ijspeert, Jesse van den Kieboom, Renaud Ronsse, Nicolas Benoît Dominique Van der Noot, Luca Colasanto, Allan Barrea

Bipedal walking with humanoid robots requires efficient real-time control. Nowadays, most bipedal robots require to ensure local stability at every instant in time, preventing them from achieving the impressive human walking skills. At the same time, bio-i ...

Real-time full body motion imitation on the COMAN humanoid robot

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Jesse van den Kieboom

On-line full body imitation with a humanoid robot standing on its own two feet requires simultaneously maintaining the balance and imitating the motion of the demonstrator. In this paper we present a method that allows real-time motion imitation while main ...

Rich periodic motor skills on humanoid robots: Riding the pedal racer

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Jesse van den Kieboom, Luc Guyot

Just as their discrete counterparts, periodic or rhythmic dynamic motion primitives allow easily modulated and robust motion generation, but for periodic tasks. In this paper we present an approach for modulating periodic dynamic movement primitives based ...

Automatic Generation of Reduced CPG Control Networks for Locomotion of Arbitrary Modular Robot Structures

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Alexander Spröwitz, Soha Pouya, Jesse van den Kieboom, Rico Möckel, Stéphane Bonardi

The design of efficient locomotion controllers for arbitrary structures of reconfigurable modular robots is challenging because the morphology of the structure can change dynamically during the completion of a task. In this paper, we propose a new method t ...

The contribution of a central pattern generator in a reflex-based neuromuscular model

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Jesse van den Kieboom

Although the concept of central pattern generators (CPGs) controlling locomotion in vertebrates is widely accepted, the presence of specialized CPGs in human locomotion is still a matter of debate. An interesting numerical model developed in the 90s' demon ...

On the dynamics of human locomotion and co-design of lower limb assistive devices

Jesse van den Kieboom

Recent developments in lower extremities wearable robotic devices for the assistance and rehabilitation of humans suffering from an impairment have led to several successes in the assistance of people who as a result regained a certain form of locomotive c ...

Meta Morphic Particle Swarm Optimization

Auke Ijspeert, Soha Pouya, Jesse van den Kieboom

Particle Swarm Optimization is a simple and elegant optimization algorithm used to solve a large variety of different real-valued problems. When it comes to solving combinations of continuous and discrete problems however, PSO by itself is not very well su ...

A General Family of Morphed Nonlinear Phase Oscillators with Arbitrary Limit Cycle Shape

Auke Ijspeert, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Jesse van den Kieboom

We present a general family of nonlinear phase oscillators which can exhibit arbitrary limit cycle shapes and infinitely large basins of attraction. This general family is the superset of familiar control methods like PD-control over a periodic reference, ...

Exploiting Natural Dynamics in Biped Locomotion using Variable Impedance Control

Auke Ijspeert, Jesse van den Kieboom

Biped locomotion has been extensively studied using various approaches, including Passive Dynamic Walking, ZMP-based control and biologically inspired muscle models. In biped locomotion robotics, there has been an increasing interest in variable impedance ...
