description Autonomous legged robots will be required to handle a wide variety of tasks and environments. While a lot of research has focused on developing their abilities for periodic locomotion tasks, little effort has been invested in devising generalized strategies for dynamic, non-periodic movements. In this work we employ the use of optimization and learning to overcome the use of motion design approaches, frequently by teleoperation, in such scenarios. We employ a realistic simulation of the HyQ2Max quadrupedal system for investigations on two distinctive tasks: rearing and posture recovery. The results obtained show the potential of optimization and learning approaches for motion synthesis in the context of complex tasks.
