Dynamic Compliant Quadruped Walking

چکیده
This paper presents a new dynamic walking controllers for quadrupedal robots with compliant legs. The algorithm implements a "walking bound" gait, (running bound without ight phase), requires only one actuator per leg at the hip, and commands a constant hip velocity during stance. The algorithm has been implemented successfully on our Scout II quadruped robot and has yielded stable walking for ranges of operating conditions with minimal reliance on feedback. The experimental data is used to illustrate important considerations on torque generation that need to be taken into account both for successful implementations and realistic modeling of legged robots. In addition, we quantify the energetics of our walking experiments via the speci c resistance and document dramatic di erences between mechanical and electrical power.

متن کاملDynamic Compliant Walking of a Quadruped Robot: Preliminary Experiments
To increase reliability and decrease cost of legged robotic systems it is advantageous to limit actuated degrees of freedom and instead exploit passive elements, such as springs, to provide compliance. Although literature exists on the design and dynamical control of running gaits for such robotic systems, no work exists for slower modes of locomotion such as walking. This paper presents a walk...
متن کاملBiomimetic Locomotion Control of a Quadruped Walking Robot
In this paper, a new biomimetic control method for a quadruped walking robot is proposed. The method is derived by the observation of the gravity load receptor and stimulusreaction mechanism of quadrupeds’ locomotion, and the study of the stances on walking and energy efficiency. Though the controller is simple, it provides a useful framework for controlling a quadruped walking robot. In partic...
متن کاملDynamic Modeling and Simulation of Compliant Legged Quadruped Robot
Quadruped robot has many advantages over wheeled mobile robots, but it is a discrete system in which joints of each leg has to operate in particular fashion to get the desired locomotion. So, dynamics plays an important role in the operation and control of quadruped robot. Proper conception of the dynamic formulation is must for the complex system like quadruped robot. Here, an attempt is made ...
