It is a great pleasure to invite you to the talk of Ioannis Havoutis (cf. info below) on Monday March 9th at 11h in the AMD seminar room (TTR building, first floor). have a nice week-end, ludovic Quadrupedal animals move with skill, grace and agility. Quadrupedal robots have made tremendous progress in the last few years. In this talk I will give an overview of our work with the Hydraulic Quadruped -HyQ- and present our latest framework for perception, planning and control of quadrupedal locomotion in challenging environments. In addition, I will give a short preview of our work on optimization of dynamic motions, and our future goals.
Ioannis Havoutis (Italian Institute of Technology / Dynamic Legged Systems Lab )
Ioannis is a post-doctoral researcher at the Dynamic Legged Systems Lab of the Advanced Robotics Department in the Italian Institute of Technology. His research combines motion planning and control with machine learning, focusing on legged robots. His interests include legged locomotion, motion planning, machine learning, optimal control, learning by demonstration and dynamic whole-body motion generation. Previously he worked on machine learning for robot skills at the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh, where he received his MSc in Artificial Intelligence and PhD in Informatics.
