• Abstract:
• This research aims to develop an optimal controller for a bipedal robot, HURON, focusing on dynamic walking and stability. The study involves kinematic and dynamic modeling, followed by the design of a robust optimal controller. Simulation testing will be conducted in a custom Gazebo environment, with subsequent validation on physical hardware. The research lays the foundation for future enhancements, such as running, jumping, etc.
