Perception methods for continuous humanoid locomotion over uneven terrain
… through careful selection of footholds. The DARPA Robotics Challenge demonstrated that today's field robots are capable of uneven terrain traversal but they moved slowly and only for short durations. The stretches of walking are separated by longer stationary periods consumed by LIDAR data …
