We consider the problem of generating a gait with no a priori assigned footsteps while taking into account the contribution of the swinging leg to the total Zero Moment Point (ZMP). This is achieved by considering a multi-mass model of the humanoid and distinguishing between secondary masses with...

We consider the problem of gait generation for a humanoid robot that must walk to an assigned Cartesian goal. As a first solution, we consider a rather straightforward adaptation of our previous work: An external block produces high-level velocities, which are then tracked by a double-stage...

The Newton-Euler equations that govern multi-body systems are not
integrable in general. However, they become so in the pendular mode, a
specific way of moving where conservation of the angular momentum is
enforced. This property was successfully showcased for locomotion over...
