Control of Bipedal Laminate Robot

Determining effective ways to control soft, laminate robotics has been an important issue in soft robotics since its nascent stages. The project focuses on the development and control of a walking gait for a laminate biped by using dynamics and control methodologies to keep track of its zero-moment point. The integration of knowledge gained from developing this robot will serve as a platform for other controls engineers and laminate roboticists to develop laminate systems that operate in areas of uncertainty.
