The motion control of a statically stable biped robot on an unevenfloor

This work studies the motion control of a statically stable biped robot having seven degrees of freedom.

The main points of this work are framing the stability in an easy and correct way, the design of a bipedal statically stable walker, and walking on sloping surfaces and stairs.

Inverse kinematics and inverse dynamics for control of a biped walking machine

Analytical techniques are presented for the motion planning and control of a 12 degree-of-freedom biped walking machine. From the Newton-Euler equations, joint torques are obtained in terms of joint trajectories, and the inverse dynamics are developed for both the single-support and double-support cases. Physical admissibility of the biped trajectory is characterized in terms of the equivalent force-moment and zero-moment point. This methodology has been used to obtain reference inputs and implement the feedforward control of walking robots. A simulation example illustrates the application of the techniques to plan the forward-walking trajectory of the biped robot. The implementation of a prototype mechanism and controller is also described.

Ascending and descending stairs for a biped robot

This paper synthesizes an efficient walking pattern for a practical biped robot when ascending and descending stairs. The main features of the biped robot include variable length legs and a translatable balance weight in the body. The biped robot's walk is a mixture of both statically stable and dynamically stable modes and relies on some degrees of static stability provided by large feet and by carefully controlling the center of gravity's position. The paper describes the design and experiment of a 7-DOF practical biped which is capable of ascending and descending stairs, and the synthesis of an efficient walking gait for ascending and descending stairs. Our biped robot is one of the few biped walking machines capable of ascending and descending stairs

Walking Control Algorithm of Biped Humanoid Robot on Uneven and Inclined Floor

This paper describes walking control algorithm for the stable walking of a biped humanoid robot on an uneven and inclined floor. Many walking control techniques have been developed based on the assumption that the walking surface is perfectly flat with no inclination. Accordingly, most biped humanoid robots have performed dynamic walking on well designed flat floors. In reality, however, a typical room floor that appears to be flat has local and global inclinations of about 2°. It is important to note that even slight unevenness of a floor can cause serious instability in biped walking robots. In this paper, the authors propose an online control algorithm that considers local and global inclinations of the floor by which a biped humanoid robot can adapt to the floor conditions. For walking motions, a suitable walking pattern was designed first. Online controllers were then developed and activated in suitable periods during a walking cycle. The walking control algorithm was successfully tested and proved through walking experiments on an uneven and inclined floor using KHR-2 (KAIST Humanoid robot-2), a test robot platform of our biped humanoid robot, HUBO.

An approach to analyzing biped locomotion dynamics and designing robot locomotion controls

An approach to analyzing biped locomotion problems is presented. This approach applies the principles of Lagrangian dynamics to derive the equations of motion of locomotion gaits, state-variable techniques to analyze locomotion dynamics, and multivariable feedback to design locomotion controls. A robot model which has no knee joints or feet and is constrained to motion in the sagittal plane is chosen as a sufficiently simple model of a biped to illustrate the approach. A goal of the analysis is the design of a locomotion control for the robot which produces a walking gait having a velocity and stride length similar to those of a human walking gait. The principle feature of the approach is a much deeper understanding of the dynamics of biped locomotion than previous approaches have provided.     

Position-based impedance control of a biped humanoid robot

This paper describes position-based impedance control for biped humanoid robot locomotion. The impedance parameters of the biped leg are adjusted in real-time according to the gait phase. In order to reduce the impact/contact forces generated between the contacting foot and the ground, the damping coefficient of the impedance of the landing foot is increased largely during the first half double support phase. In the last half double support phase, the walking pattern of the leg changed by the impedance control is returned to the desired walking pattern by using a polynomial. Also, the large stiffness of the landing leg is given to increase the momentum reduced by the viscosity of the landing leg in the first half single support phase. For the stability of the biped humanoid robot, a balance control that compensates for moments generated by the biped locomotion is employed during a whole walking cycle. For the confirmation of the impedance and balance control, we have developed a life-sized humanoid robot, WABIAN-RIII, which has 43 mechanical d.o.f. Through dynamic walking experiments, the validity of the proposed controls is verified.     

3D stable biped walking control and implementation on real robot

A combination of walking control methods was proposed and implemented on a biped robot. The LIPM-based model predictive control (MPC) was adopted to generate a basic stable walking pattern. The stability of pitch and yaw rotation was improved through pitch and yaw momentum control as a supplementation of MPC. It is found that biped robot walking tends to deviate from the planned walking direction if not considering the rotation friction torque in yaw axis under the support foot. There are basically two methods to control yaw momentum, waist and swing arms rotation control. However, the upper body is often needed to accomplish other tasks. Therefore, a yaw momentum control method based on swing leg dynamics was proposed. This idea does not depend on upper body’s motion and is highlighted in this paper. Through experiments, the feasibility of the combination of the control methods proved to be practical in keeping biped robot walking stable both in linear and rotation motion. The pros and cons of the yaw momentum control method were also tested and discussed through comparison experiments, such as walking on flat and uneven terrain, walking with different payloads.     

一种基于迭代的质心逆运算的方法
