The Wisconsin Expeditious LeggedAI Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW WELL Lab) studies the fundamental theory and methodologies to enhance the capabilities of legged robots—robots that navigate our environment using legs. Our goal is to design advanced mechanical and algorithmic intelligence for legged robots based on rigorous mathematical principles derived from control theory, numerical optimization, and machine learning.
