This year the d’Arbeloff lab had a large number of accepted submissions to the 2020 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2020). As a lab, we had a record-breaking 6 papers accepted and presented at the virtual conference. On behalf of the whole lab, congratulations to Jacob, Dan, Filippos, Ryan, Hiroshi, and Haruhiko for the accomplishment.
Congratulations to Phillip Daniel for his recent publication!
In ‘Stable Crawling Policy for Wearable SuperLimbs Attached to a Human with Tuned Impedance’, Phillip demonstrates a control algorithm allowing for a human model to crawl using a pair of supernumerary robotic limbs. Verifying the walking policy that he developed using simulated experiments, Phillip’s work is the first, that we are aware of, to address cooperative crawling between a human and a wearable robotic system with state feedback.
The full paper can be found in IROS 2020’s Conference Proceedings.
