Absolute orientation angle estimation of a quadruped robot using non linear observers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the application of two nonlinear observers in order to estimate the absolute orientation angle of a quadruped walking robot. The designed observers are based on high gain and high order sliding mode approaches. A loss of observability during the robot step appears: this problem is dealed by using two different observers structures.

Estimation of the Absolute Orientation of a Five-link Walking Robot with Passive Feet
One of the main objectives of current research on walking robots is to make their gaits more fluid by introducing imbalance phases. For example, for walking robots without actuated ankles, which are under actuated in single support, dynamically stable walking gaits have been designed with success (Aoustin & Formal’sky 2003; Chevallereau et al. 2003; Zonfrilli et al. 2002; Aoustin et al. 2006; P...
متن کاملDynamics modeling and stable gait planning of a quadruped robot in walking over uneven terrains
Quadruped robots have unique capabilities for motion over uneven natural environments. This article presents a stable gait for a quadruped robot in such motions and discusses the inverse-dynamics control scheme to follow the planned gait. First, an explicit dynamics model will be developed using a novel constraint elimination method for an 18-DOF quadruped robot. Thereafter, an inverse-dynamics...
متن کاملOn Passive Quadrupedal Bounding with Flexible Linear Torso
This paper studies the effect of flexible linear torso on the dynamics of passive quadruped bounding. A reduced-order passive and conservative model with linear flexible torso and springy legs is introduced. The model features extensive spine deformation during high-speed bounding, resembling those observed in a cheetah. Fixed points corresponding to cyclic bounding motions are found and calcul...

Pose estimation is one of the vital issues in mobile robot navigation. Odometry data can be fused with absolute position measurements to provide better and more reliable pose estimation. This paper deals with the determination of better relative localization of a two wheeled differential drive robot by means of odometry by considering the influence of parameters namely weight, velocity, wheel p...
متن کاملDynamic turning control of a quadruped locomotion robot using oscillators
The authors have proposed a dynamic turning control system of a quadruped robot by using nonlinear oscillators. It is composed of a spontaneous locomotion controller and voluntary motion controller. In this article, capability of dynamic turning motion of the proposed control system is verified through numerical simulations and hardware experiments: Various turning speed and orientation make th...
