Program of the Summer School
- Lectures by leading robotic researchers on machine learning, control, perception, and planning for legged robots.
- Advanced lectures on dynamic control of quadrupeds, including whole-body and optimization-based approaches.
- Reduced-order modeling for locomotion, bridging theoretical foundations and practical motion generation.
- Optimal control and trajectory optimization methods, including real-time Model Predictive Control with feasibility and stability guarantees.
- State Estimation and Reinforcement Learning for robust performance under uncertainty and limited model knowledge.
- Hands-on sessions with state-of-the-art open-source tools for multi-body dynamics, visualization, in Python and C++ using ROS.
- Integration, deployment, and evaluation of developed software on Unitree Aliengo and Unitree Go2 quadrupeds.
- Social and networking activities, including a social dinner and a trekking excursion in the Dolomites.
