Our study with MIT about acrobatic motion control of a humanoid robot is introduced in IEEE Spectrum:  https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/mit-dynamic-acrobatic-humanoid-robot

our new paper about acrobatic motion control of a humanoid robot is accepted in IEEE international conference on humanoid robots. You can find a preprinted paper in arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09025 The paper is also introduced in tech articles:TechXplore: https://techxplore.com/news/2021-05-mit-humanoid-robot-dynamic-robotic.htmltechnology: https://www.technology.org/2021/04/21/the-mit-humanoid-robot-design-motion-planning-and-control-for-acrobatic-behaviors/Techilive: https://techilive.in/the-mit-humanoid-robot-a-dynamic-robotic-that-can-perform-acrobatic-behaviors/

The paper published in Transactions on Mechatronics, “Investigations of a Robotic Test Bed With Viscoelastic Liquid Cooled Actuators”, got a best paper award.   This work is about series elastic liquid cooling actuator’s design, control, and robotic testbed using the unique actuators.  You can find the paper in https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8472170

We got one Mini-Cheetah from MIT Biomimetic Robotics Lab and Naver. We will make this robot run, jump, and automatically move around our places!

Thank you for visiting DARoS Lab. We are robotics researchers who aspire to develop robotic systems practical for human life. Please take a look and contact us if you want to have further discussion: donghyunkim@cs.umass.edu
