Recent interest in the control of underactuated robots has surged significantly due to the impressive athletic behaviors shown by robots developed by, e.g., Boston Dynamics ( https://www.bostondynamics.com ), Agility Robotics ( https://agilityrobotics.com/robots ), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [1] . This gives rise to the need for canonical robotic hardware … [Read more...] about Open Source Dual-Purpose Acrobot and Pendubot Platform: Benchmarking Control Algorithms for Underactuated Robotics
