This project aims to develop an innovative locomotion algorithm (policy) of a novel hybrid aerial-ground robot ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcw4GKmW_vs ). Student will learn to train a robot locomotion policy using state-of-the-art simulation tools, and potentially deploy it to a real robot for experiment.
What skills are required to be able to successfully execute the project?
- 1 Understanding of robot dynamics and control
- 2 Robot Planning
- 3 Experience with robot simulation would be a plus
Understand how an aerial and ground robot moves using its actuators, understand the control commands and dynamics that enables the robot to navigate. Develop efficient algorithms for the robot to navigate in complex environments.
Potentially publish a paper in robotics conferences.
