Humanoid robots, unmanned rovers, entertainment pets, drones, and so on are great
examples of mobile robots. They can be distinguished from other robots by their ability to …

A bstract The omnidirectional drive is a popular challenging trend in today's mobile robotics
where different areas such as swarm, humanoid, legged, train-based, underwater, air flying …

Imitation learning from human demonstrations has shown impressive performance in
robotics. However, most results focus on table-top manipulation, lacking the mobility and …

An attached arm can significantly increase the applicability of legged robots to several
mobile manipulation tasks that are not possible for the wheeled or tracked counterparts. The …

Learning physics-based locomotion skills is a difficult problem, leading to solutions that
typically exploit prior knowledge of various forms. In this paper we aim to learn a variety of …

Evolutionary Robotics is a method for automatically generating artificial brains and
morphologies of autonomous robots. This approach is useful both for investigating the …

The purpose of this paper is to present inverse optimal control as a promising approach to
transfer biological motions to robots. Inverse optimal control helps (a) to understand and …

Humans are highly adept at walking in environments with foot placement constraints,
including stepping‐stone scenarios where footstep locations are fully constrained. Finding …

Programming robot behavior remains a challenging task. While it is often easy to abstractly
define or even demonstrate a desired behavior, designing a controller that embodies the …

In order to interact with human environments, humanoid robots require safe and compliant
control which can be achieved through force-controlled joints. In this paper, full body step …
