Robotix | Atlas | More Parkour (2019)

We created the maneuvers using new techniques that streamline the development process.

First, an optimization algorithm transforms high-level descriptions of each maneuver into dynamically-feasible reference motions.

Then Atlas tracks the motions using a model predictive controller that smoothly blends from one maneuver to the next.

Using this approach, we developed the routine significantly faster than previous Atlas routines, with a performance success rate of about 80%.
