Active Balancing Using Gyroscopes for a Small Humanoid Robot
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes methods used in stabilizing the walking gait of TAO-PIE-PIE, a small humanoid robot given rate feedback from two RC gyroscopes. TAO-PIE-PIE is a fully autonomous small humanoid robot (30cm tall). Although TAO-PIE-PIE uses a minimal set of actuators and sensors, it has proven itself in international competitions, winning honors at the RoboCup and FIRA HuroSot competitions in 2002 and 2003. The feedback control law is based solely on the rate information from two RC gyroscopes. This alleviates drift problems introduced by integrating the RC gyroscope feedback in the more common position control approaches.

متن کاملDesign of Walking Gaits for Tao-Pie-Pie, a Small Humanoid Robot
This paper describes the methodology that we used to design and implement balancing and walking gaits for TAO-PIE-PIE, a small 30cm tall humanoid robot. TAO-PIE-PIE is a fully autonomous robot with all power, sensing, and processing done on-board. It is also a minimalistic design with only six degrees of freedom. Nevertheless, its performance is comparable to that of other more complex designs....

متن کاملActive Balancing Reflexes for Small Humanoid Robots
To be practical, humanoid robots must be able to manoeuvre over a variety of flat and uneven terrains, at different speeds and with varying gaits and motions. This paper describes three balancing-reflex algorithms (threshold control, PID control, and hybrid control) that were implemented on a real 8 DOF robot equipped with only an accelerometer sensor to study the capabilities and limitations o...
متن کاملAnalytical Dynamic Modelling of Heel-off and Toe-off Motions for a 2D Humanoid Robot
The main objective of this article is to optimize the walking pattern of a 2D humanoid robot with heel-off and toe-off motions in order to minimize the energy consumption and maximize the stability margin. To this end, at first, a gait planning method is introduced based on the ankle and hip joint position trajectories. Then, using these trajectories and the inverse kinematics, the position tra...
