Corrigendum: Small-Sized Reconfigurable Quadruped Robot With Multiple Sensory Feedback for Studying Adaptive and Versatile Behaviors

Robot and locomotion-controller design optimization for a reconfigurable quadruped

We present an automated approach to robot and locomotion-controller design optimization, using reinforcement learning methods that have been successfully demonstrated to teach a real prototype quadruped various walking gaits. The same machine learning methods are used here for a different purpose: to optimize robot and locomotion-controller design. Optimization can be used before or after build...

Adaptive Locomotion Controller for a Quadruped Robot

Adaptive foot design for small quadruped robots

Biologically inspired robots that are used for research of the animal and the technological realm become more and more refined. Control schemes for sensor-less and sensorized robots were developed, are able to handle torque control and sometimes even adapt to a changing task set. Further mechanics and electronics have evolved and take part in more reliable and robust bio-inspired robots. Robots...

Slip-adaptive walk of quadruped robot

In this paper, we investigated the effects of the friction condition on walking pattern and energy efficiency, and based on the results, we proposed two new “slip-adaptive” strategies for generating a slip-adaptive walk. The first strategy for a slip-adaptive walk uses a slip reflex via a Central Pattern Generator (CPG) to change the walking pattern. The second strategy for a walk uses a force ...
