Bayesian Optimization Using Domain Knowledge on the ATRIAS Biped
, 2017 Controllers in robotics often consist of expert-designed heuristics, which can be hard to tune in higher dimensions. It is typical to use simulation to learn these parameters, but controllers learned in simulation often don't transfer to hardware.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes

Flexible instruments for a snake-like robot
, 2020 Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a widely adopted technique due to the many advantages it holds for patients, e.g., reductions in healing times. In MIS one procedure within many is using a snakelike robot for scarless endoscopic surgery, such as gastrointestinal endoscopic surgery.

Learning and Transfer of Modulated Locomotor Controllers [PDF]
, 2016 We study a novel architecture and training procedure for locomotion tasks. A high-frequency, low-level "spinal" network with access to proprioceptive sensors learns sensorimotor primitives by training on simple tasks. This pre-trained module is fixed and
