Stable bipedal walking is a key prerequisite for humanoid robots to reach their potential of being versatile helpers in our everyday environments. Bipedal walking is, however, a complex motion that requires the coordination of many degrees of freedom while it is also inherently unstable and sensitive to disturbances. The balance of a walking biped has to be constantly maintained. The most effective way of controlling balance are well timed and placed recovery steps -- capture steps -- that absorb the expense momentum gained from a push or a stumble. We present a bipedal gait generation framework that utilizes step timing and foot placement techniques in order to recover the balance of a biped even after strong disturbances. Our framework modifies the next footstep location instantly when responding to a disturbance and generates controllable omnidirectional walking using only very little sensing and computational power. We exploit the open-loop stability of a central pattern generated gait to fit a linear inverted pendulum model to the observed center of mass trajectory. Then, we use the fitted model to predict suitable footstep locations and timings in order to maintain balance while following a target walking velocity. Our experiments show qualitative and statistical evidence of one of the strongest push-recovery capabilities among humanoid robots to date.
Humanoid robots could be versatile and intuitive human avatars that operate remotely in inaccessible places: the robot could reproduce in the remote location the movements of an operator equipped with a wearable motion capture device while sending vi

The ability of legged systems to traverse highly-constrained environments depends by and large on the performance of their motion and balance controllers. This paper presents a controller that excels in a scenario that most state-of-the-art balance c
Experimental demonstration of complex robotic behaviors relies heavily on finding the correct controller gains. This painstaking process is often completed by a domain expert, requiring deep knowledge of the relationship between parameter values and
This paper presents a framework that leverages both control theory and machine learning to obtain stable and robust bipedal locomotion without the need for manual parameter tuning. Traditionally, gaits are generated through trajectory optimization me
