Natural, Efficient Walking for Compliant Humanoid Robots
… when available. To enable the robot to walk with straightened legs, we present a strategy that insures that the dynamic plans are kinematically and dynamically feasible to execute using straight legs. The effects of timing on dynamic plans are typically ignored, resulting in them potentially …

Trajectory Optimisation Inspired Design for Legged Robotics
Control of legged robots is a non-trivial task, especially when looking at aperiodic (non-steadystate) manoeuvres such as rapid acceleration and deceleration. Observing nature, animals are seen to effortlessly perform these rapid transient manoeuvres, however, robust walking is still considered a …
