Title:  Design and Control of High-performance Hydraulic Quadruped and Centaur Robots

Abstract: Legged Robots are expected to assist and replace human operators for dangerous, dull and dirty tasks in challenging environments. As demonstrated by legged animals and humans, legs are ideal for moving over very rough terrain, where wheeled and tracked vehicles cannot go. To build versatile, high-performance legged machines it is crucial to select the most suitable actuation technology, that allows high-bandwidth force control, powerful motions and impact robustness. Hydraulic actuation meets these requirements.
In this presentation, I will review the achieved results of IIT’s Dynamic Legged Systems lab with the HyQ robot, to then introduce – for the first time – the design of the new version of HyQ and a new hydraulic Centaur robot that combines 4 legs with 2 arms.
