Spring-legged Locomotion on Uneven Ground: a Control Approach to Keep the Running Speed Constant
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a feedforward control for spring-legged systems in uneven terrain which keeps the running speed constant. The control uses the unique transformation between ground level and flight time to automatically adapt the system parameters during flight to the actual ground level without having to detect it. We further demonstrate how this control for constant speed running can simultaneously be combined with other control strategies in spring-legged systems to adapt their behavior to a desired locomotion task.

Fast and Adaptive Hopping Height Control of Single-legged Robot
Research on running robots has generally focussed on the steady-state. When the ground has limited foot placement surfaces or there are sudden changes in height then steady-state running is not possible. It becomes necessary to make step-bystep adjustments to place the foot. In this paper a mass-spring-damper model of a robot’s leg is used to develop a hopping controller capable of meeting rapi...
متن کاملInfluence of “J”-Curve Spring Stiffness on Running Speeds of Segmented Legs during High-Speed Locomotion
Both the linear leg spring model and the two-segment leg model with constant spring stiffness have been broadly used as template models to investigate bouncing gaits for legged robots with compliant legs. In addition to these two models, the other stiffness leg spring models developed using inspiration from biological characteristic have the potential to improve high-speed running capacity of s...

MODEL-BASED IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL OF A ONE-LEGGED HOPPING ROBOT Hasan Eftun Orhon M.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering Advisor: Ömer Morgül January 2018 Spring-mass models are well established tools for the analysis and control of legged locomotion. Among the alternatives, spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model has shown to be a very accurate descriptor of animal locomotion...
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...

1. Motivation Legged robots will need to be fast, robust and efficient for real world applications. In this research, we aim to design a high speed bipedal running robot on 3D environments based on active tail stabilization method, Raptor 2 robot. 2. State of the Art Many legged robots have been studied and developed so far, but only a few robots have achieved stable fast legged locomotion. In ...
