About Us
ARCAD Lab’s mission is to control and build agile, efficient legged robots through concurrent hardware and software design. We leverage real-time optimization- and learning-based controllers that fully exploit compliant actuators to enable dynamic, economical motion. Our goal is to enable robots to achieve athletics and energetics comparable to those of humans and animals, capable of dynamic locomotion and whole-body loco-manipulation in the real world.
