Learning Highly Dynamic Skills Transition for Quadruped Jumping Through Constrained Space

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A quadruped robot masters dynamic jumps through constrained spaces with animal‐inspired moves and intelligent vision control. This hierarchical learning approach combines imitation of biological agility with real‐time trajectory planning. Although legged animals are capable of performing explosive motions while traversing confined spaces, replicating ...

Posture Operating Method by Foot Posture Change and Characteristics of Foot Motion

Posture Operating Method by Foot Posture Change and Characteristics of Foot Motion
The lower limbs of the human body actually can perform the multiple-degree-of-freedom motion, just like the upper limbs. This suggests the possibility for the lower limbs to be used in the operation of multiple-degree-of-freedom devices, such as a robot arm.
