چکیده
Methods for modeling, simulating and optimizing the dynamics, stability and performance of legged robot locomotion are discussed in this paper. It is demonstrated how these tools are used in the design, implementation and operation of a humanoid robot. The selection and integration of fundamental hardand software needed for autonomous operation and high agility is presented for a recently developed fully-actuated 17 DoF humanoid. The results are additionally reported from simulations and gait optimizations completed during its development using a 3D dynamic biped model coupled with multiple physical and stability constraints.

متن کاملThe road less travelled: morphology in the optimization of biped robot locomotion
In this paper, stable bipedal locomotion has been achieved using coupled evolution of morphology and control on a 5link biped robot in a physics-based simulation environment. The robot was controlled by a closed loop recurrent neural network controller. The goal was to study the effect of macroscopic, midrange and microscopic changes in mass distribution along the biped skeleton to ascertain wh...
متن کاملArtificial locomotion control: from human to robots
This paper concerns the simultaneous synthesis and control of walking gaits for biped robots. The goal is to propose an adaptable and reactive control law for two-legged machines. The problem is addressed with human locomotion as a reference. The starting point of our work is an analysis of human walking from descriptive (biomechanics) as well as explicative (neuroscience and physiology) points...
متن کاملObject-oriented dynamics modeling for simulation, optimization and control of walking robots
This paper shows how efficient object oriented dynamics modeling and optimal control techniques form the basis for generating optimal gaits for four-legged and biped robots. Dynamics of walking robots, dynamics algorithms and our object-oriented approach are shortly repeated as well as optimal control techniques. Numerical and experimental results for a four-legged and a humanoid robot are cited.
متن کاملUsing the Adaptive Frequency Nonlinear Oscillator for Earning an Energy Efficient Motion Pattern in a Leg- Like Stretchable Pendulum by Exploiting the Resonant Mode
In this paper we investigate a biological framework to generate and adapt a motion pattern so that can be energy efficient. In fact, the motion pattern in legged animals and human emerges among interaction between a central pattern generator neural network called CPG and the musculoskeletal system. Here, we model this neuro - musculoskeletal system by means of a leg - like mechanical system cal...
