RT

Across 1 conversation, Russ Tedrick ranges across robot control, soft robotics, underactuated robotics. Passive dynamic walkers, powered only by gravity, demonstrate more natural movement than complex robots like Honda's Asimo. Underactuated robotics, with fewer actuators than degrees of freedom, leverage physics for control, common in both robots and humans.
