Human-Like Actuated Walking that is Asymptotically Stable Without Feedback

چکیده
This paper studies a two-legged kneed walking robot with point feet. At any given moment, only one foot is in contact with the ground, and the switching is instantaneous. The robot can be considered as a simpli ed model of human walking. The periodic torque histories applied to each link are a priori prescribed for a motion and are not changed by any feedback interference. Nevertheless the robot is capable of naturally recovering from perturbations, returning to standard gait a property that we call open-loop stable. We formulate the problem of open-loop stabilization as an optimal control problem. Design parameters and periodic torque inputs that lead to a stable con guration are computed using a two-level optimization procedure. We believe that this is the rst demonstration of the ability to create stable actuated open-loop gaits of bipedal walking robots.

Reconstructing human push recovery reactions using a three dimensional under-actuated bipedal robot
This paper presents the ability of hybrid zero dynamics (HZD) feedback control method to reproduce human like movements for walking push recovery of an under-actuated 3D biped model. The balance recovery controller is implemented on a three-dimensional under-actuated bipedal model subjected to a push disturbance. The biped robot model is considered as a hybrid system with eight degrees of freed...
متن کاملOptimizing Spring-Damper Design in Human Like Walking that is Asymptotically Stable Without Feedback
In recent work, numerical methods employing optimal control algorithms have been used to create biped multibody systems and open loop joint torque histories that create human like walking motions that are asymptotically stable without any feedback. This research has been extended to produce open loop stable biped running, and to produce open loop stable hopping and open loop stable somersaults....

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 کاملA Simple State-Determined Model Reproduces Entrainment and Phase-Locking of Human Walking
Theoretical studies and robotic experiments have shown that asymptotically stable periodic walking may emerge from nonlinear limit-cycle oscillators in the neuro-mechanical periphery. We recently reported entrainment of human gait to periodic mechanical perturbations with two essential features: 1) entrainment occurred only when the perturbation period was close to the original (preferred) walk...
متن کاملDynamic Compliant Walking of a Quadruped Robot: Preliminary Experiments
To increase reliability and decrease cost of legged robotic systems it is advantageous to limit actuated degrees of freedom and instead exploit passive elements, such as springs, to provide compliance. Although literature exists on the design and dynamical control of running gaits for such robotic systems, no work exists for slower modes of locomotion such as walking. This paper presents a walk...
