    Abstract: A control system may receive a first plurality of measurements indicative of respective joint angles corresponding to a plurality of sensors connected to a robot. The robot may include a body and a plurality of jointed limbs connected to the body associated with respective properties. The control system may also receive a body orientation measurement indicative of an orientation of the body of the robot. The control system may further determine a relationship between the first plurality of measurements and the body orientation measurement based on the properties associated with the jointed limbs of the robot. Additionally, the control system may estimate an aggregate orientation of the robot based on the first plurality of measurements, the body orientation measurement, and the determined relationship. Further, the control system may provide instructions to control at least one jointed limb of the robot based on the estimated aggregate orientation of the robot.

    Abstract: Examples for implementing bound and gallop gaits are described herein. A computing system may receive an input for a robotic device to perform a gallop gait or a bound gait. Responsive to receiving the input, the computing system may determine a state of the robotic device based on sensor data monitoring the robotic legs. A sagittal controller of the robotic device may determine vertical impulses and target locations for controlling the legs during the gallop gait based on a pitch, a height, and a velocity of the robotic device. One or more continuous controllers may determine adjustments for controlling the legs based on a roll, a yaw, and/or lateral motions of the robotic device that may result from the robotic device traveling at the velocity and direction as specified in the input. Further, to perform the gait, the controllers may provide instructions to control the legs.

    Abstract: Example embodiments may relate to a robotic system that includes a hydraulic actuator and an electric actuator both coupled to a joint of the robotic system. Operation of the actuators may be based on various factors such as based on desired joint parameters. For instance, such desired joint parameters may include a desired output torque/force of the joint, a desired output velocity of the joint, a desired acceleration of the joint, and/or a desired joint angle, among other possibilities. Given a model of power consumption as well as a model of the actuators, the robotic system may determine operating parameters such as hydraulic and electric operating parameters as well as power system parameters, among others. The robotic system may then control operation of the actuators, using the determined operating parameters, to obtain the desired joint parameters such that power dissipation in the system is minimized (i.e., maximizing actuation efficiency).

    Abstract: A control system may receive sensor data indicative of respective fluid levels of two or more hydraulic accumulators configured to operate at respective target fluid levels within a hydraulic system. The control system may determine respective errors of the hydraulic accumulators based on the respective fluid levels and respective target fluid levels of the hydraulic accumulators. The respective errors may correspond to pressure errors, fluid volume errors, or other types of errors of the hydraulic accumulators. Responsive to determining the respective errors, the control system may determine that the error of a given hydraulic accumulator is greater than errors of the other hydraulic accumulators and provide instructions to control a hydraulic valve to supply fluid from a single pump of the hydraulic system to the given hydraulic accumulator.
