Kinematic control and posture optimization of a redundantly actuated quadruped robot

Although legged locomotion for robots has been studied for many years, the research of wheeled-leg robotics is much more recent. Robots of this type can take advantage of the energy efficiency of wheeled locomotion while adapting to more difficult terrain with legged locomotion when necessary. The M...
