Abstract
This video highlights work to date on the Yobotics-IHMC lower body humanoid robot. The robot is a twelve degree-of-freedom robot with force controllable series elastic actuators at each degree of freedom. Control algorithms utilize virtual model control, and foot placement is determined using capture regions. The robot can recover from moderate disturbances and walk on flat ground. Ongoing work is focused on improving robustness to disturbances, walking more quickly and efficiently, and walking over rough terrain.
