  abstract  = {We present a legged motion planning approach
               for quadrupedal locomotion over challenging terrain. We de-
               compose the problem into body action planning and footstep
               planning. We use a lattice representation together with a set of
               defined body movement primitives for computing a body action
               plan. The lattice representation allows us to plan versatile 
               move ments that ensure feasibility for every possible plan. To
               this end, we propose a set of rules that define the footstep 
               search regions and footstep sequence given a body action. We use
               Anytime Repairing A* (ARA*) search that guarantees bounded sub-
               optimal plans. Our main contribution is a planning approach
               that generates on-line versatile movements. Experimental trials
               demonstrate the performance of our planning approach in a
               set of challenging terrain conditions. The terrain information
               and plans are computed on-line and on-board.},
