Implementation of a Quadruped Robot Pronking / Bounding Gait Using a Multipart Controller
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a multipart pronking/ bounding controller for a quadruped robot, as well as the corresponding experimental results. The controller achieves given apex height and forward velocity in a quadruped robot with only one actuator per leg. A quadruped is designed and built and described in some detail. Experimental results obtained using internal sensors and highspeed camera captions show that the implemented quadruped robot performs pronking gaits and achieves bounding gaits with the desired characteristics.

Dynamics 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...
متن کاملControl of underactuated planar pronking through an embedded spring-mass Hopper template
Autonomous use of legged robots in unstructured, outdoor settings requires dynamically dexterous behaviors to achieve sufficient speed and agility without overly complex and fragile mechanics and actuation. Among such behaviors is the relatively under-studied pronking (aka. stotting), a dynamic gait in which all legs are used in synchrony, usually resulting in relatively slow speeds but long fl...

This paper attempts to set the basis for a systematic approach in designing quadruped robots employing a dynamically stable quadruped running in the sagittal plane with a bounding gait, which is a simple model commonly used to analyze the basic qualitative properties of quadruped gaits that use the legs in pair. The outcome of the proposed methodology is the optimal shape of the bounding quadru...

The problem of gait planning for the quadruped search robot is described as an uncertainty discrete system. According to the basic gait elements of the quadruped search robot, the periodic gait of the robot is analyzed on the basis of gait timing diagram. The non-fragile control theory is proposed for gait planning control of quadruped search robot. A non-fragile reliable adaptive controller is...
