Human-Inspired Redundancy Resolution for Upper-Limb Robotics Using Phase-Dominant Performance Criteria

The aim of this study is to develop improved motion planning algorithms for humanoid robots and to enhance prosthetic control and rehabilitation training through predictive interfaces grounded in natural human movement. To address this aim, we introduce a synthesized biomechanically plausible human-inspired inverse-kin...

Reinforcement Learning-based Impact Forces-Optimized Gait Control for Humanoid Locomotion: Toward Smooth and Quiet Walking

This paper proposes a reinforcement learning-based Impact Forces-Optimized Gait Control framework for achieving smooth and quiet humanoid locomotion. The proposed method integrates a quintic polynomial swing-foot trajectory designed to ensure zero vertical velocity and acceleration at foot-ground contact with a joint-j...

Underactuated Virtual Gravity Control: Harnessing Passive Dynamics for Optimally Efficient Bipedal Locomotion

This paper explores the Underactuated Virtual Gravity (UVG) controller, a model-based control approach designed to achieve energy-efficient bipedal walking. The UVG controller minimizes actuator effort during level-ground walking by capitalizing on the inherent dynamics that facilitate stable passive gaits on downward...
