Human-Like Multi-Contact Walking with AMBER 2

Published on Oct 22, 2013

Demonstration of human-like mulit-contact locomotion on the bipedal robot AMBER. In particular, as inspired by human-locomotion, the robot demonstrates three phases of walking throughout the walking gait characterized by changing contact points at the heel and toe. Furthermore, these changing contact points result in different three different types of actuation throughout the walking gait: full actuation, underactuation and over actuation. The end result is human-like locomotion on the robot.

Robustness Tests on the Bipedal Robot AMBER 2

Published on Apr 4, 2014

Demonstration of the robustness of the multi-contact walking gait on AMBER 2, a bipedal robot custom built by AMBER Lab at Texas A&M University. The walking is obtained via the human-inspired control framework, and exhibits natural heel-toe behavior present in human walking. As the video demonstrates, this type of locomotion results in robust behavior.
