Research questionHow can humanoid morphology and whole-body control be co-designed to reproduce human movement?Separating humanoid hardware design from whole-body control can produce systems poorly suited to reproducing fluid, agile human movement. The challenge is aligning the robot’s physical structure with the behaviors its controller must learn.
