Reliable Dynamic Motions for a Stiff Quadruped

We present a kinodynamic planning methodology for a high-impedance quadruped robot to negotiate a wide variety of terrain types with high reliability. We achieve motion types ranging from dynamic, double-support lunges for efficient locomotion over extreme obstacles to careful, deliberate foothold a...
