Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
This research is focusing on the implementation, testing, and analysis of quadrupedal, bio-inspired robot locomotion. Our tool of research is a light-weight, quadruped robot of the size of a house cat, both in simulation and hardware. We are currently foll ...
In this paper we present an approach to the problem of stabilizating the gaze of legged robots using Adaptive Frequency Oscillators to learn the frequency, phase and amplitude of the optical flow and generate compensatory commands during robot locomotion. ...
This paper presents the actuation system of the robotic leg ScarlETH. It was developed specifically for a quadrupedal robot and is designed to achieve fast position control as well as accurate joint torque control. It introduces strong passive dynamics to ...
This paper describes a method to identify the extrinsic parameters of RGB-D cameras mounted on legged robots. Since the calculation of the parameters is based on the detection of the robots feet in the camera images, no special calibration objects are requ ...
This paper addresses the problem of evaluating and estimating the mechanical robustness of footholds for legged robots in unstructured terrain. In contrast to approaches that rely on human expert knowledge or human defined criteria to identify appropriate ...
Behavioral performances of our legged robots are still far behind those of biological systems. Energy efficiency and locomotion velocity of our robots, for example, are orders of magnitude lower than those of animals, and in order to fill the gap, it requi ...
A single leg hopping robot has been constructed which includes a clutch in series with the hip motor and a prototype Linear Multi-Modal Actuator (LMMA) at the knee. The single leg will be used to test how the different actuation methods can improve the beh ...
In this contribution we introduce novel dynamics model based on existing dynamics modeling approaches that allow detailed studies on the role of a compliant spine in quadruped locomotion. We use this model to address our key questions on locomotion control ...
In the broader context of quadrupedal locomotion, this overview article introduces and compares two platforms that are similar in structure, size, and morphology, yet differ greatly in their concept of actuation. The first, ALoF, is a classically stiff act ...
This paper introduces a state estimation framework for legged robots that allows estimating the full pose of the robot without making any assumptions about the geometrical structure of its environment. This is achieved by means of an Observability Constrai ...
