Project description
DogBot formed the primary research component of my MSc in Human and Biological Robotics at Imperial College London. The project was completed under the supervision of Dr. Petar Kormushev in the Robot Intelligence Lab
DogBot is a quadrupedal robotic platform developed by, React AI. React AI developed the necessary hardware and firmware required to drive the robot, however, it required a bespoke high-level controller. My project aimed to develop a high-level controller capable of generating and controlling various locomotion gaits, while navigating uneven terrain and resisting perturbations.
Project Duration: January 2018 - September 2018
