LOLA v1.1 - An Upgrade in Hardware and Software Design for Dynamic Multi-Contact Locomotion

In this video we present our recent upgrades to the hard- and software of our humanoid robot LOLA. The changes were made in order to make LOLA capable of dynamic multi-contact locomotion (by which we mean additional hand-support during fast walking). This is meant to increase overall stability and robustness against model inaccuracies and disturbances. This talk was held as oral presentation at the 2020 IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots (July 19-21 2021). For details, see the related conference paper "LOLA v1.1 - An Upgrade in Hardware and Software Design for Dynamic Multi-Contact Locomotion" by Philipp Seiwald, Shun-Cheng Wu, Felix Sygulla, Tobias Berninger, Nora-Sophie Staufenberg, Moritz Sattler, Nicolas Neuburger, Daniel Rixen and Federico Tombari.
