چکیده

This paper investigates generating symmetric trajectories for an underactuated biped during the stance phase of running. We use a point mass biped (PMB) model for gait analysis that consists of a prismatic force actuator on a massless leg. The significance of this model is its ability to generate more general and versatile running gaits than the spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model, making it more suitable as a template for real robots. The algorithm plans the necessary leg actuator force to cause the robot center of mass to undergo arbitrary trajectories in stance with any arbitrary attack angle and velocity angle. The necessary actuator forces follow from the inverse kinematics and dynamics. Then these calculated forces become the control input to the dynamic model. We compare various center-of-mass trajectories, including a circular arc and polynomials of the degrees 2, 4 and 6. The cost of transport and maximum leg force are calculated for various attack angles and velocity angles. The results show that choosing the velocity angle as small as possible is beneficial, but the angle of attack has an optimum value. We also find a new result: there exist biped running gaits with double-hump ground reaction force profiles which result in less maximum leg force than single-hump profiles.

Hopping Gait Generation for a Biped Robot with Hill-Type Muscles

This work presents a novel gait generation method for biped hopping with point feet. The investigated biped model consists of a kneed massless leg and a trunk with two Hill-type muscles at the hip and knee joints. The dynamic equations of the system are derived using Lagrange method. Since the most important phase to stabilize bipedal running and hopping motion is stance phase, this paper deals...

Control of Underactuated Biped Robots Using Event Based Fuzzy Partial Feedback Linearization

Underactuated biped robots control is one of the interesting topics in robotics. The main difficulties are its highly nonlinear dynamics, open-loop instability, and discrete event at the end of the gait. One of the methods to control underactuated systems is the partial feedback linearization, but it is not robust against uncertainties and disturbances that restrict its performance to control b...

Multi-model Stability Control Method of Underactuated Biped Robots Based on Imbalance Degrees

In this paper, a stability control strategy for underactuated biped robots is proposed based on imbalance degree. The dynamic models of single-leg support of underactuated biped robots are firstly illustrated. Based on the external disturbance force strength of the system, the motion process of an underactuated biped robot is partitioned into three stages according to the imbalance degree. In d...

Stable Dynamic Walking over Rough Terrain - Theory and Experiment

We propose a constructive control design for stabilization of non-periodic trajectories of underactuated mechanical systems. An important example of such a system is an underactuated “dynamic walking” biped robot walking over rough terrain. The proposed technique is to compute a transverse linearization about the desired motion: a linear impulsive system which locally represents dynamics about ...

Robust Trajectory Free Model Predictive Control of Biped Robots with Adaptive Gait Length

This paper employs nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) for robust trajectory-free Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) of biped robots. The NDO is used to reject the additive disturbances caused by parameter uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics, joints friction, and external slow-varying forces acting on the biped robots. In contrary to the slow-varying disturbances, handling sudden pushing ...
