Hardware Design and Control Algorithms for Agile and Versatile Legged Robots

This lecture presented by Hae-Won Park, Director of the Humanoid Robot Research Center and Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST, explores the development of hardware and control algorithms for agile legged robots. Learn how researchers are working to bridge the gap between biological animals' natural ability to navigate complex environments and the current limitations of robotic systems. Discover the latest advancements in creating robust hardware and effective control algorithms that enable both agility and robustness in legged robots. The 57-minute presentation, delivered at Georgia Tech Research's Klaus Computing Building on January 22, 2025, examines how legged robots can be designed to perform dynamic motions and athletic skills to overcome diverse obstacles, similar to their biological counterparts.
