  Running with a simulated quadruped

  We use Pacer to make a quadrupedal robot run in a multi-rigid body simulation with rigid contact.The robot is controlled using (1) joint error-feedback (PID) control (unilateral contact with friction); (2) inverse dynamics (unilateral contac...

  Simulation of hopping robot

  This is a Moby simulation of a hopping robot on terrain. Sam Zapolsky implemented the controller for the robot, which we simulated using adaptive integration (Bulirsch-Stoer) and continuous collision detection.
