As of today, the WBC-TC is composed of about 100 members (the full
list of members can be found at http://
wholebodycontrol.eu/members.html).
WBC-TC Activities
The main focus of the WBC-TC in the
start-up phase was on the organization
of special issues and workshops (http://
wholebodycontrol.eu/events.html). As
of today, three special issues in robotics
journals have been published, and 12
workshops have been organized. Furthermore, a book chapter was invited
for inclusion in the book Humanoid
Robotics: A Reference [1].
Beginning in 2016, the WBC-TC has
annually awarded a Best WBC-Paper
Award, a Best WBC-Video Award, and a
Best WBC-Software Award. The first
year's edition was a huge success: Several excellent works were submitted
for evaluation by the WBC Awards

Committee (http://wholebodycontrol
.eu/awards.html).
2016 Best WBC-Paper Award
The 2016 WBC-Best Paper Award went
to S. Kuindersma et al. for the paper
"Optimization-based locomotion planning, estimation, and control design for
the Atlas humanoid robot" [2].
2016 Best WBC-Video Award
The 2016 WBC-Video Award went to
B. Henze, M.A. Roa, and C. Ott, "Passivity-based whole-body balancing for
torque-controlled humanoid robots in
multi-contact scenarios" [3] and "An
approach to combine balancing with
hierarchical whole-body control for
legged humanoid robots" [4].
2016 Best WBC-Software Award

the recipient of the 2016 WBC-Software Award.
WBC-TC members have been
actively involved in several robot competitions. A prominent example is the
Darpa Robotics Challenge (DRC); the
finals took place in June 2015 in
Pomona, California, and have been a
great opportunity for researchers in
WBC. One of the main results of the
DRC was that it encouraged researchers
