DESCRIPTION
HyQCentaur is a Ground from IIT (Italian Institute of Technology). It is built for Material-Handling.
HyQCentaur extends IIT's HyQ quadruped with torque-controlled hydraulic arms for mobile manipulation in environments where wheeled vehicles cannot go — door opening, valve work, and hazardous-material handling concepts.
FEATURES
- HyQ quadruped base plus one or two hydraulic manipulator arms (centaur configuration)
- Full torque-controlled hydraulic arm without a separate external control unit
- Designed for rough-terrain mobile manipulation: doors, valves, hazardous containers
- Left/right arm mounting variants shown in IIT ADVR/DLS CAD and lab prototypes
- Builds on HyQ's hydraulic locomotion stack for whole-body optimization research
