We present a novel algorithm for the computational co-design of legged robots and dynamic maneuvers. Current state-of-the-art approaches are based on random sampling or concurrent optimization. A few recently proposed methods explore the relationship between the gradient of the optimal motion and robot design. Inspired by these approaches, we propose a bilevel optimization approach that exploits the derivatives of the motion planning sub-problem (the inner level) without simplifying assumptions on its structure. Our approach can quickly optimize the robots morphology while considering its full dynamics, joint limits and physical constraints such as friction cones. It has a faster convergence rate and greater scalability for larger design problems than state-of-the-art approaches based on sampling methods. It also allows us to handle constraints such as the actuation limits, which are important for co-designing dynamic maneuvers. We demonstrate these capabilities by studying jumping and trotting gaits under different design metrics and verify our results in a physics simulator. For these cases, our algorithm converges in less than a third of the number of iterations needed for sampling approaches, and the computation time scales linearly.

We present parametric trajectory optimization, a method for simultaneously computing physical parameters, actuation requirements, and robot motions for more efficient robot designs. In this scheme, robot dimensions, masses, and other physical paramet
ers are solved for concurrently with traditional motion planning variables, including dynamically consistent robot states, actuation inputs, and contact forces. Our method requires minimal user domain knowledge, requiring only a coarse guess of the target robot configuration sequence and a parameterized robot topology as input. We demonstrate our results on four simulated robots, one of which we physically fabricated in order to demonstrate physical consistency. We demonstrate that by optimizing robot body parameters alongside robot trajectories, motion planning problems which would otherwise be infeasible can be made feasible, and actuation requirements can be significantly reduced.
This paper introduces a taxonomy of manipulations as seen especially in cooking for 1) grouping manipulations from the robotics point of view, 2) consolidating aliases and removing ambiguity for motion types, and 3) provide a path to transferring lea
rned manipulations to new unlearned manipulations. Using instructional videos as a reference, we selected a list of common manipulation motions seen in cooking activities grouped into similar motions based on several trajectory and contact attributes. Manipulation codes are then developed based on the taxonomy attributes to represent the manipulation motions. The manipulation taxonomy is then used for comparing motion data in the Daily Interactive Manipulation (DIM) data set to reveal their motion similarities.
We introduce a robust control architecture for the whole-body motion control of torque controlled robots with arms and legs. The method is based on the robust control of contact forces in order to track a planned Center of Mass trajectory. Its appeal
lies in the ability to guarantee robust stability and performance despite rigid body model mismatch, actuator dynamics, delays, contact surface stiffness, and unobserved ground profiles. Furthermore, we introduce a task space decomposition approach which removes the coupling effects between contact force controller and the other non-contact controllers. Finally, we verify our control performance on a quadruped robot and compare its performance to a standard inverse dynamics approach on hardware.
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.
