Design of Time-Varying Hybrid Zero Dynamics Controllers for Exponential Stabilization of Agile Quadrupedal Locomotion
… that allow stable and agile gaits for full-order hybrid dynamical models of quadrupedal locomotion. Unlike time-invariant nonlinear controllers, time-varying controllers do not rely on sensor data for gait phasing and can initiate locomotion from zero velocity. Motivated by these properties, we …

Hierarchical Control of Constrained Multi-Agent Legged Locomotion: A Data-Driven Approach
… is theoretically justifiable in the context of Hybrid Zero Dynamics at the lowest level of control to produce highly robust locomotion, even when subject to uncertainty. The torque controller is based on virtual constraints and partial feedback linearization and is cast into the form of a …

Robust Predictive Control for Legged Locomotion
… tractable, robust controllers based on nonlinear hybrid systems theory, model predictive control, and optimization for the real-time planning and control of agile locomotion in quadrupedal robots. Toward this objective, this thesis first investigates layered control architectures. In particular, …

Distributed Feedback Control Algorithms for Cooperative Locomotion: From Bipedal to Quadrupedal Robots
… a formal foundation based on de- composition, Hybrid Zero Dynamics (HZD), and scalable optimization to develop distributed controllers for hybrid models of collaborative human-robot locomotion. This approach con- siders a centralized controller and then decomposes the dynamics and parameterizes …
