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...
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...

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...

High nonlinearity and limited computational resources create persistent challenges for achieving autonomous, stable, and accurate locomotion in insect-scale crawling robots, hindering their practical deployment. In this study, we build the mathematical models of the insect-scale micro crawling robot named PLioBot and p...
