This paper presents an optimal control of bio-robotic leg for human-like walking. A mathematical dynamic model of bio-robotic leg having three links i.e. thigh, shank and foot is considered here. The Lagrange-Euler formulation is used to obtain the dynamic equations of motion for calculating torques at various joints of bio-robotic leg. Polynomial trajectory used as desired trajectory is based on...
This paper proposes a novel user interface for creating whole body motions of biped humanoid robots just by giving key poses. Although such an interface is popular for CG character animation, there have not been any practical systems that can appropriately handle the kinematic and dynamic conditions required for moving actual biped robots stably without falling down. In our interface, every time a...
This paper deals with the dynamics and motion control of a spherical robot designed for reconnaissance and unstructured hostile environment exploration. The robot in this paper has three DOFs and two inputs, of which the nature is a nonlinear and underactuated system with nonholonomic dynamic constraints. The improved construction of two pendulums offers novel motion principle of spherical robot,...
This paper describes a 3-D biped walking over rough terrain. The robot is modeled as the special 3-D inverted pendulum that can change the length. The dynamics of the 3-D inverted pendulum is modeled as 2-D autonomous system by applying the Passive Dynamic Autonomous Control (PDAC) that is based on the assumption of point-contact of the robot foot and the virtual holonomic constraint as to robot joints...
Biped robot may become unstable during dynamic walking because of the huge impact/contact forces produced by foot instant landing. In this paper, force/torque-based compliance control is applied to absorb the impact forces generated between the contacting foot and the ground to keep stable dynamic walking. By imitating human's muscles to absorb the landing force, this method models the ground and...
This paper presents a method for controlling the zero moment point (ZMP) of walking robots by using spring-mass systems mounted on the robot body. A pair of oscillating spring-mass systems makes a swing motion of the ZMP via periodic change of the spring forces. In contrast to usual methods, where ZMP is controlled through motion planning in terms of joint trajectories, the proposed method is not...
Many critical elements for statically stable walking for legged robots have been known for a long time, including stability criteria based on support polygons, good foothold selection, recovery strategies to name a few. All these criteria have to be accounted for in the planning as well as the control phase. Most legged robots usually employ high gain position control, which means that it is crucially...
In the field of robotics the energy spent for actuation is always an issue. It is often the case that some desired motions cannot be achieved by the robot due to limitations in actuation power. We suggest a simple solution to the problem: complement the actuators by some configuration of mechanical springs which delivers a torque profile that is well-tuned for the desired robot motion. As a result,...
A formulation based on Danevit-Hartenberg was educed for the dynamics and kinematics equation, the virtual model of humanoid robot based on Pro/ENGINEER was developed. The simulator, which is the virtual counterpart of the hardware robot platform for humanoid robotics, can emulate the dynamics of the robots and test the control algorithms. The controller can handle a dynamic balance control, a biped...
