Abstract:The kinematic motion of a robotic character is defined by its mechanical joints and actuators that restrict the relative motion of its rigid components. Designing robots that perform a given target motion as closely as possible with a fixed number of actuated degrees of freedom is challenging, especially for robots that form kinematic loops. In this paper, we propose a technique that simultaneously solves for optimal design and control parameters for a robotic character whose design is parameterized with confi… Show more
