A Hybrid Hydrostatic Transmission and Human-Safe Haptic Telepresence Robot
We present a new type of hydrostatic transmission that uses a hybrid air-water configuration, analogous to N+1 cable-tendon transmissions, using N hydraulic lines and 1 pneumatic line for a system with N degrees of freedom (DOFs).

VertiGo – A Wall-Climbing Robot including Ground-Wall Transition
VertiGo is a wall-climbing robot that is capable of transitioning from the ground to the wall, created in collaboration between Disney Research Zurich and ETH.
3D Printed Soft Skin for Human-Robot Interaction
The purpose of this research is the development of a soft skin module with a built-in airtight cavity in which air pressure can be sensed.
Antagonistic Muscle based Robot Control for Physical Interactions
In this paper, we examine a novel biologically-inspired control method, emulating antagonistic muscle pairs based on a nonlinear Hill model.
High-Performance Robotic Muscles from Conductive Nylon Sewing Thread
In this paper, we develop a thermomechanical and thermoelectric model of SCP actuators, and examine their controllability.
Reducing Hardware Experiments for Model Learning and Policy Optimization
This paper presents an iterative approach for learning hardware models and optimizing policies with as few hardware experiments as possible.
Adapting Human Motions to Humanoid Robots Through Time Warping Based on a General Motion Feasibility Index
This paper presents a method for adapting human motions to humanoid robots based on a technique called time warping, which modifies the time line of a reference motion to speed up or slow down the motion.
Development of a Bipedal Robot that Walks Like an Animation Character
We present a bipedal robot that looks like and walks like an animation character.
