Motion planning for quadrupedal locomotion: Coupled planning, terrain mapping, and whole-body control

Planning whole-body motions while taking into account the terrain conditions is a challenging problem for legged robots since the terrain model might produce many local minima. Our coupled planning method uses stochastic and derivatives-free search to plan both foothold locations and horizontal moti...
