Pattern Generation for Walking on Slippery Terrains
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we extend state of the art Model Predictive Control (MPC) approaches to generate safe bipedal walking on slippery surfaces. In this setting, we formulate walking as a trade off between realizing a desired walking velocity and preserving robust foot-ground contact (slippage and tipover avoidance). Exploiting this formulation inside MPC, we show that safe walking on various terrains can be achieved by compromising three main attributes, i. e. walking velocity tracking, the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) modulation, and the Required Coefficient of Friction (RCoF) regulation. Simulation results show that increasing the walking velocity increases the possibility of slippage, while reducing the slippage possibility conflicts with reducing the tip-over possibility of the contact and vice versa.

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 کاملEnergy Dissipation Rate Control Via a Semi-Analytical Pattern Generation Approach for Planar Three-Legged Galloping Robot based on the Property of Passive Dynamic Walking
In this paper an Energy Dissipation Rate Control (EDRC) method is introduced, which could provide stable walking or running gaits for legged robots. This method is realized by developing a semi-analytical pattern generation approach for a robot during each Single Support Phase (SSP). As yet, several control methods based on passive dynamic walking have been proposed by researchers to provide an...
متن کاملStraight walking and turning on a slippery surface.
In stick insects, walking is the result of the co-action of different pattern generators for the single legs and coordinating inter-leg influences. We have used a slippery surface setup to understand the role the local neuronal processing in the thoracic ganglia plays in the ability of the animal to show turning movements. To achieve this, we removed the influence of mechanical coupling through...
متن کاملWalking Pattern Generation on Inclined and Uneven Terrains for Humanoid Robots
This paper introduces a walking pattern generation method on an inclined terrain in both pitch and roll directions, and uneven terrain. The walking pattern generation method is based on a modifiable walking pattern generator (MWPG) which allows a zero moment point (ZMP) variation in real-time. As a navigational command set, a 3-D command state (CS) is defined, which consists of single and doubl...
متن کاملInverse dynamics with optimal distribution of contact forces for the control of legged robots
In addition to well-thought mechanical designs, there is a need for advanced control algorithms that can provide the versatility needed to locomote on difficult, potentially extreme terrains. Such a controller should offer two important features: high tracking performance to guarantee precise feet and hand placements when needed and control of contact forces created by the robot on its environm...
