An adaptive, self-organizing dynamical system for hierarchical control of bio-inspired locomotion

In this paper, dynamical systems made up of locally coupled nonlinear units are used to control the locomotion of bio-inspired robots and, in particular, a simulation of an insect-like hexapod robot. These controllers are inspired by the biological paradigm of central pattern generators and are responsible for generating a locomotion gait. A general structure, which is able to change the locomotion gait according to environmental conditions, is introduced. This structure is based on an adaptive system, implemented by motor maps, and is able to learn the correct locomotion gait on the basis of a reward function. The proposed control system is validated by a large number of simulations carried out in a dynamic environment for simulating legged robots.     

Adaptive controller design for underwater snake robot with unmatched uncertainties

Because of hydrodynamic model error of the present dynamic model, there is a challenge in controller design for the underwater snake-like robot. To tackle this challenge, this paper proposes an adaptive control schemes based on dynamic model for a planar, underwater snake-like robot with model error and time-varying noise. The adaptive control schemes aim to achieve the adaptive control of joint angles tracking and the direction of locomotion control. First, through approximation and reducibility using Taylor expansion method, a simplified dynamics model of a planar amphibious snake-like robot is derived. Then, the L1 adaptive controller based on piecewise constant adaptive law is applied on the simplified planar, underwater snake-like robot, which can deal with both matched and unmatched nonlinear uncertainties. Finally, to control the direction of locomotion, an auxiliary bias signal is used as the control input to regulate the locomotion direction. Simulation results show that this L1 adaptive controller is valid to deal with different uncertainties and achieve the joint angles tracking and fast adaptive at the same time. The modified L1 adaptive controller, in which the auxiliary bias item is added, has the ability to change the direction of locomotion, that is, the orientation angle is periodic with arbitrarily given constant on average.

Dynamic Analysis Tool for Legged Robots

The paper introduces a systematic approach for dealing with legged robot mechanism analysis. First, we briefly summarize basic mathematical tools for studying the dynamics of these multi-loop and parallel mechanisms using a unified spatial formulation which is useful for computer algorithms. The dynamic behavior analysis is based on two stages. The first one deals with establishing the equations of motion of the whole mechanism including legs tip impact effects and allowing us to solve the direct and inverse dynamic problems. The second concerns the feet–ground interaction aspect which is one of the major problem in the context of dynamic simulation for walking devices. We focus on the phenomenon of contact by introducing a general model for dynamic simulation of contacts between a walking robot and ground. This model considers a force distribution and uses an analytical form for each force depending only on the known state of the robot system. Finally, some simulation results of biped robot are given. The simulation includes all phenomena that may occur during the locomotion cycle: impact, transition from impact to contact, contact during support with static friction, transition from static to sliding friction and sliding friction.     

An Optimal Control-Based Formulation to Determine Natural Locomotor Paths for Humanoid Robots

In this paper we explore the underlying principles of natural locomotion path generation of human beings. The knowledge of these principles is useful to implement biologically inspired path planning algorithms on a humanoid robot. By 'locomotion path' we denote the motion of the robot as a whole in the plane. The key to our approach is to formulate the path planning problem as an optimal control problem. We propose a single dynamic model valid for all situations, which includes both non-holonomic and holonomic modes of locomotion, as well as an appropriately designed unified objective function. The choice between holonomic and non-holonomic behavior is not accomplished by a switching model, but it appears in a smooth way, along with the optimal path, as a result of the optimization by efficient numerical techniques. The proposed model and objective function are successfully tested in six different locomotion scenarios. The resulting paths are implemented on the HRP-2 robot in the simulation environment OpenHRP as well as in the experiment on the real robot.     

Development of adaptive locomotion of a caterpillar-like robot based on a sensory feedback CPG model

This paper presents a novel control mechanism for generating adaptive locomotion of a caterpillar-like robot in complex terrain. Inspired by biological findings in studies of the locomotion of the lamprey, we employ sensory feedback integration for online modulation of the control parameters of a new proposed central pattern generator (CPG). This closed-loop control scheme consists of the following stages: First, touch sensor information is processed and transformed into module states. Then, reactive strategies that determine the mapping between module states and sensory inputs are generated according to an analysis of the module states. Finally, by means of a genetic algorithm, adaptive locomotion is achieved by optimising the amount and speed of sensory input that is fed back to the CPG model. Incorporating the closed-loop controller in a caterpillar-like robot, both simulation and real on-site experiments are carried out. The results confirm the effectiveness of the control system, based on which the robot flexibly adapts to, and manages to crawl across the complex terrain.     

Obstacle avoidance of snake robot by switching control constraint

In this paper, we propose an obstacle avoidance method for autonomous locomotion control of a snake robot. The snake robot consists of rigid links, active joints and passive wheels, and can move only by varying its shape. The pass planning for the obstacle avoidance is a complicated problem because the snake robot has many states, control inputs and the under-actuated property. In our proposed method, the snake motion is restricted to a periodic undulate curve (called a serpenoid curve) by an additional control constraint and the undulate curve is tuned by switching the control constraint in order that the snake robot avoids the obstacle. Therefore, the path planning is simplified and the snake robot will achieve the obstacle avoidance with an efficient path. In this paper, we denote the details of our method and investigate the effectiveness of our strategy by numerical simulations.
