Abstract
The invention includes systems and methods for determining movement of a robot. A computing system of the robot receives information comprising a reference behavior specification, a current state of the robot, and a characteristic of a massive body coupled to or expected to be coupled to the robot. The computing system determines, based on the information, a set of movement parameters for the robot, the set of movement parameters reflecting a goal trajectory for the robot. The computing system instructs the robot to move consistent with the set of movement parameters.
