Head motion stabilization during quadruped robot locomotion: Combining dynamical systems and a genetic algorithm

The head shaking that results from robot locomotion is important because it difficults stable image acquisition and the possibility to rely on that information to act accordingly, for instance, to achieve visually-guided locomotion.
