In order to achieve autonomous vertical wall climbing, the transition phase from the ground to the wall requires extra consideration inevitably. This paper focuses on the contact sequence planner to transition between flat terrain and vertical surfaces for multi-limbed climbing robots. To overcome the transition phase, it requires planning both multi-contact and contact wrenches simultaneously which makes it difficult. Instead of using a predetermined contact sequence, we consider various motions on different environment setups via modeling contact constraints and limb switchability as complementarity conditions. Two safety factors for toe sliding and motor over-torque are the main tuning parameters for different contact sequences. By solving as a nonlinear program (NLP), we can generate several feasible sequences of foot placements and contact forces to avoid failure cases. We verified feasibility with demonstrations on the hardware SiLVIA, a six-legged robot capable of vertically climbing between two walls by bracing itself in-between using only friction.

In this paper we present a new approach for dynamic motion planning for legged robots. We formulate a trajectory optimization problem based on a compact form of the robot dynamics. Such a form is obtained by projecting the rigid body dynamics onto th
e null space of the Constraint Jacobian. As consequence of the projection, contact forces are removed from the model but their effects are still taken into account. This approach permits to solve the optimal control problem of a floating base constrained multibody system while avoiding the use of an explicit contact model. We use direct transcription to numerically solve the optimization. As the contact forces are not part of the decision variables the size of the resultant discrete mathematical program is reduced and therefore solutions can be obtained in a tractable time. Using a predefined sequence of contact configurations (phases), our approach solves motions where contact switches occur. Transitions between phases are automatically resolved without using a model for switching dynamics. We present results on a hydraulic quadruped robot (HyQ), including single phase (standing, crouching) as well as multiple phase (rearing, diagonal leg balancing and stepping) dynamic motions.
Reliable real-time planning for robots is essential in todays rapidly expanding automated ecosystem. In such environments, traditional methods that plan by relaxing constraints become unreliable or slow-down for kinematically constrained robots. This
paper describes the algorithm Dynamic Motion Planning Networks (Dynamic MPNet), an extension to Motion Planning Networks, for non-holonomic robots that address the challenge of real-time motion planning using a neural planning approach. We propose modifications to the training and planning networks that make it possible for real-time planning while improving the data efficiency of training and trained models generalizability. We evaluate our model in simulation for planning tasks for a non-holonomic robot. We also demonstrate experimental results for an indoor navigation task using a Dubins car.
Wheeled-legged robots combine the efficiency of wheeled robots when driving on suitably flat surfaces and versatility of legged robots when stepping over or around obstacles. This paper introduces a planning and control framework to realise dynamic l
ocomotion for wheeled biped robots. We propose the Cart-Linear Inverted Pendulum Model (Cart-LIPM) as a template model for the rolling motion and the under-actuated LIPM for contact changes while walking. The generated motion is then tracked by an inverse dynamic whole-body controller which coordinates all joints, including the wheels. The framework has a hierarchical structure and is implemented in a model predictive control (MPC) fashion. To validate the proposed approach for hybrid motion generation, two scenarios involving different types of obstacles are designed in simulation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that such online dynamic hybrid locomotion has been demonstrated on wheeled biped robots.
Planning smooth and energy-efficient motions for wheeled mobile robots is a central task for applications ranging from autonomous driving to service and intralogistic robotics. Over the past decades, a wide variety of motion planners, steer functions
and path-improvement techniques have been proposed for such non-holonomic systems. With the objective of comparing this large assortment of state-of-the-art motion-planning techniques, we introduce a novel open-source motion-planning benchmark for wheeled mobile robots, whose scenarios resemble real-world applications (such as navigating warehouses, moving in cluttered cities or parking), and propose metrics for planning efficiency and path quality. Our benchmark is easy to use and extend, and thus allows practitioners and researchers to evaluate new motion-planning algorithms, scenarios and metrics easily. We use our benchmark to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of several common state-of-the-art motion planners and provide recommendations on when they should be used.
This paper studies jumping for wheeled-bipedal robots, a motion that takes full advantage of the benefits from the hybrid wheeled and legged design features. A comprehensive hierarchical scheme for motion planning and control of jumping with wheeled-
bipedal robots is developed. Underactuation of the wheeled-bipedal dynamics is the main difficulty to be addressed, especially in the planning problem. To tackle this issue, a novel wheeled-spring-loaded inverted pendulum (W-SLIP) model is proposed to characterize the essential dynamics of wheeled-bipedal robots during jumping. Relying on a differential-flatness-like property of the W-SLIP model, a tractable quadratic programming based solution is devised for planning jumping motions for wheeled-bipedal robots. Combined with a kinematic planning scheme accounting for the flight phase motion, a complete planning scheme for the W-SLIP model is developed. To enable accurate tracking of the planned trajectories, a linear quadratic regulator based wheel controller and a task-space whole-body controller for the other joints are blended through disturbance observers. The overall planning and control scheme is validated using V-REP simulations of a prototype wheeled-bipedal robot.
