Research summary
AI-generated

Ayonga Hereid's research focuses on making legged robots—especially humanoid and bipedal robots and lower-limb exoskeletons—walk and navigate reliably in complex, real-world environments. This includes designing control algorithms for foot placement, balance, and path planning on uneven or moving surfaces, as well as combining machine learning with traditional control methods for safer, more adaptable robot locomotion. The work is aimed at improving robots' ability to walk, navigate obstacles, and assist people through devices like exoskeletons.
