In this paper, a method for stabilizing biped robots stepping by a combination of Divergent Component of Motion (DCM) tracking and step adjustment is proposed. In this method, the DCM trajectory is generated, consistent with the predefined footprints. Furthermore, a swing foot trajectory modification strategy is proposed to adapt the landing point, using DCM measurement. In order to apply the generated...
This paper mainly describes the omnidirectional walking motion design of humanoid robot soccer team called Apollo3D. In this paper, we employed a model which is based on double linear inverted pendulum with a predictive control to generate a motion trajectory of the robot's trunk in the premise of keeping dynamic balance of robots. Parameters for walk are optimized for maximum speed through an approach...
In some applications, biped robots are preferred to wheeled robots since biped robots are able to move in various environments with different conditions. However, stable walking for biped robots is a challenging issue. Various approaches have been developed to improve these robots performance. In this paper, we first introduce a different mechanical design of biped robots based on parallel mechanism...
We present a new method to generate biped walking patterns for biped robots on uneven terrains. Our formulation uses a universal stability criterion that checks whether the resultant of the gravity wrench and the inertia wrench of a robot lies in the convex cone of the wrenches resulting from contacts between the robot and the environment. We present an algorithm to compute the feasible acceleration...
Energy-efficient reference gait generation algorithm is suggested utilizing variable ZMP (Zero Moment Point) and vertical hip motion, which maxmizes the energy efficiency for cyclic gaits, based on inverted pendulum model (IPM) for biped robots. As observed in natural human walking, the robot's vertical hip motion (with average height and amplitude of hip ripple) as well as allowing variable ZMP pattern,...
Stability fulfilment for biped robots is drastically essential. Thus, to predict and maintain a dynamic stable status of biped robots defining an accurate stability measure is required which can represent dynamic equilibrium condition. Several postural stability metrics have been proposed so far. In this article, the Moment-Height stability (MHS) measure which has been previously proposed for wheeled...
Control of the biped robots requires appropriate gait planning that satisfies stable walking. In this paper, first a desired trajectory for the lower body will be designed by fitting proper polynomials at appropriate break points, which alleviates the impacts due to contact with the ground. Then, the upper body motion is planned based on the zero moment point (ZMP) criterion to provide a stable motion...
Biped robots have higher capabilities than other mobile robots, for moving on uneven environments. However, due to natural instability of these robots, their motion planning and control become a more important and challenging task. This article, will present a Cartesian approach for gate planning and control of biped robots without needing to use the joint space trajectories and the inverse kinematics...
Designing smooth and stable trajectories for control of the biped robots is a challenging problem that is the focus of this article. A desired trajectory for the lower body will be designed to alleviate the impacts due to contact with the ground. This is obtained by fitting proper polynomials at appropriate break points. Then, planning the upper body motion is accomplished based on the zero moment...
