Dynamic Stabilization of an Under-Actuated Robot using Dynamic Effects of the Legs and the Trunk

This paper presents the first theoretical tools to control an under-actuated robot by taking into account its intrinsic dynamics. In order to perform this control, the idea is to modify the configuration and the dynamic effects of the robot if the measured velocity of the robot is not the desired one
