This paper presents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme capable of generating a 3D gait for a humanoid robot. The proposed method starts from an assigned sequence of footsteps and generates online the trajectory of both the Zero Moment Point and Center of Mass. Starting from the moment balance...

We consider a pursuit-evasion problem between humanoids. In our scenario, the pursuer enters the safety area of the evader headed for collision, while the latter executes a fast evasive motion. Control schemes are designed for both the pursuer and the evader. They are structurally identical,...

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...
