Multi-contact Walking Pattern Generation based on Model Preview Control of 3D COM Accelerations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present a multi-contact walking pattern generator based on preview-control of the 3D acceleration of the center of mass (COM). A key point in the design of our algorithm is the calculation of contact-stability constraints.
