Challenges of Locomotion
Robert discusses the complexities of legged locomotion, highlighting the mathematical singularities encountered with straight legs and the challenges posed by under-actuation. He explains how the humanoid form, while appealing, complicates balance due to its mass and inertia, especially when carrying weight. The conversation delves into the evolution of robotic models and the necessity of incorporating the full physics of movement to overcome these hurdles.In this clip
