The combinatorics inherent to the issue of planning legged locomotion can be addressed by decomposing the problem: first, select a guide path abstracting the contacts with a heuristic model; then compute the contact sequence to balance the robot gait along the guide path. While several models have been proposed to compute such a path, none have yet managed to efficiently capture the complexity of ...
