A new bionic knee allows amputees to walk faster, climb stairs more easily, and adroitly avoid obstacles, researchers ...

Legged robots are capable of achieving energy-efficiency by introducing elastic elements in parallel with the actuators during the stance phase. However, the parallel elastic actuation results in a ...

This work presents a successful implementation of a nonlinear optimization-based Regularized Predictive Control (RPC) for legged locomotion on the MIT Cheetah 3 robot platform. Footstep placements and ...
