Dynamic Robotics and AI Laboratory

Just your typical everyday human-scale spring-legged bipedal robot designed to walk and run in unstructured environments

[Dynamic Robotics and AI Laboratory @osudrl]

Bipedal robot is hard, how about multiple bipeds working together? Checkout our lab's new research on multi-biped transport. We propose a learned system allowing multiple bipedal robots moving payload together without the need for inter-communication. And sim-to-real!

[Alan Fern @AlanPaulFern1]

We explore this question in recent work. Multiple bipeds are arbitrarily attached to a rigid carrier and the carrier velocity is then controlled with a joystick.

We use sim2real RL to train a decentralized controller that is independently run on each biped.

We will also present our work on "Learning Vision-Based Bipedal Locomotion for Challenging Terrain" at ICRA 2024. Check it out at 5/14 at award session on Cognitive Robotics as well as 5/13 at workshop on Agile Robotics: From Perception to Dynamic Action!

So far Cassie has been blind in all of our sim-to-real work.

Now Cassie can see. https://t.co/lNeNHVrZc6

We will present our work on "Sim-to-Real Learning for Humanoid Box Loco-Manipulation" at ICRA 2024. Check it out on 5/16 at session Machine Learning for Robot Control II as well as 5/17 at workshop on Loco-Manipulation: Algorithms, Challenges & Applications!

Imagine the possibilities if we can master sim-to-real training of physically capable humanoid robots.

There is a long way to go, but we have our labs first glimmers of success for box loco-manipulation with the Digit V3 humanoid.

✨🤖 Robust Standing and Walking: a highly robust humanoid walking controller.

We introduce benchmarks for quantitatively measuring the capabilities of walking controllers.

The results are not trivial, emphasizing why objective measurements are important for our field. ⬇️

In addition to the 5k through campus, our Cassie robot also completed a 5k on an artificial turf surface. We finished with a time just under 44 minutes with no falls! Watch the full run here https://t.co/eLmZ1nuaYG

[Agility @agilityrobotics]

Congrats to @OregonState Dynamic Robotics Laboratory researchers for achieving a first: making a robot run a 5K! Now that some of these researchers have joined our team, we look forward to incorporating these ideas into commercial applications. #robotics https://t.co/5CNoePFj5k

This account used to be for the ATRIAS robot specifically, but we are now shifting it to be about all the work from the Dynamic Robotics Lab. Expect lots of pictures and videos of our Cassie robot here!

[Dynamic Robotics and AI Laboratory @osudrl]

So excited to see my baby sister learn to walk! Good luck @agilityrobotics! https://t.co/efOTlUezid

[Oregon State University @OregonState]

Introducing Cassie, the ground-breaking robot from our world-class robotics program.
