IEEE Spectrum Video Friday

My work was showcased in the Friday, April 5, 2024 edition of the IEEE Spectrum Video Friday.

“Cassie is able to walk on sand, gravel, and rocks inside the Robot Playground at the University of Michigan.”

“Cassie Blue showcases its ability to navigate a moving walkway, a common yet challenging scenario in human environments. Cassie Blue can walk on to and off of a 1.2 meter-per-second moving treadmill and reject disturbances caused by a tugging gantry and sub-optimal approach angle caused by operator error. The key to Cassie Blue’s success is a new controller featuring a novel combination of virtual constraint-based control and a model predictive controller applied on the often-neglected ankle motor. This technology paves the way for robots to adapt and function in dynamic, real-world settings.”
