A Novel Coordinated Motion Fusion-Based Walking-Aid Robot System

Motion Control of a Bipedal Walking Robot

This paper investigates the performance of different control schemes applied on a 5-link biped robot by simulation studies. The primary controller are implemented with a conventional Proportional Derivative (PD) controller and Computed Torque controller, later enhanced with Active Force Control (AFC). The mathematical modeling and motion control for a bipedal walking robot in this paper consist...

Environment Recognition System for Biped Robot Walking Using Vision Based Sensor Fusion

Microcontroller Based Walking Robot

In this paper, micro controller is used to control the thermal states of Flexinol wires which actuating legs of the insect-like legged robot. The design emphasizes mechanical simplicity as well as power and computational autonomy for lightweight walking robot applications. The kinematics workspace characteristics has been applied on to a test rig to examine and improve the motion feasibility wi...

Hierarchical Shared Control of Cane-Type Walking-Aid Robot

A hierarchical shared-control method of the walking-aid robot for both human motion intention recognition and the obstacle emergency-avoidance method based on artificial potential field (APF) is proposed in this paper. The human motion intention is obtained from the interaction force measurements of the sensory system composed of 4 force-sensing registers (FSR) and a torque sensor. Meanwhile, a...

Gait Planning and Motion Simulation of a Biped Walking Robot

A three-step planning method is proposed, aiming at the redundancy of DOFs and the complexity of a biped robot’s gait planning. The method presents a quick procedure on the planning of robot’s walking gait, and it is used in the walking gait planning of a biped robot, the HIT-Robocean. A robot virtual prototype model firstly is set up with the aid of the softwares, namely, Solidworks, Matlab, a...
