iStruct - Walking

Published on Jun 21, 2013


The video shows the walking pattern of the developed ape-like robotic system. Besides different walking directions (forward, backward, sideways, and diagonally) a smooth transition between the respective directions is realized

A self-righting behavior of the walking robot Charlie

Apr 30, 2020


The video shows a self-righting behavior of the four-legged walking robot Charlie, developed by the Robotics Innovation Center (RIC) of the DFKI.
The behavior consists of two parts: 1. A transition from a supine lying pose to a prone lying pose and 2. subsequently the transition to a standing posture, where the 6DoF artificial spine of Charlie was key to reach the stable four-legged pose.The first transition has been optimized using state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms.

One key benefit of #leggedrobots is their ability to act on the #environment by applying #forces in a #noncontiguous way in innumerous directions and #magnitudes within their designed #workspace. Most multi-legged robots are equipped with single-point-contact feet for the sake of simplicity in design and control.
