Whole-body Control of Legged Robots with MPPI

Whole-body Control of Legged Robots with MPPI

Our approach enables real-time, contact-rich locomotion and manipulation using a single control policy derived from Model-Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control. Demonstrations include box pushing, box climbing, and robust walking over rough terrain.
