Unlike fully actuated systems, the control of underactuated robots necessitates the use of passive dynamics to fulfill control objectives. Hence, there is an increased interdependence between their design parameters and the closed loop performance. This paper proposes a novel approach for co-optimization of robot design and controller parameters for increased certifiable stability obtained with me...
